I've done pretty much the thing you describe some time ago... it is 
certainly possible, although I did discover a lot of bugs in the process 
(especially with the cache).

While I can't point you to any concrete examples, I would recommend to 
start with the slide-admin and build on that. It uses Struts as basis 
for the logic processing (forms), and you would probably want to add 
Action classes like EditCollectionPermissionsAction.

The more complicated part would be the group management, especially if 
you want to allow the "group lead" to create new users. That would be 
something like the "singleGroupMember" user from the default 
configuration, a concept which is not well supported (at least not by 
the admin application, but neither by the slide realm for tomcat4).

To summarize, it's somewhat tricky, but doable ;o)
