I have never heared > that this is possible. No, I did not try it. If and what is possible depends on the exact setup. Slide gets the user from the servlet container. However to conform to the acl specs, the user database must be mapped also to webdav resources at /users. Usually you configure the container so, that every known user get access to the slide servlet at container level. Slide will take care for a more fine grained access control. You can not add users to slide using the webdav API, unless the underlying store (or a interceptor) forwards changes to the user database used by the servlet container (e.g. the slide realm). However Slide does not get the roles from the servlet container. The groups live only in the repository. So I see no reason, you could not manipulate them using webdav PROPATCH. No changes to the user database are required.
