I guess by an example I mean the complete application use-case. When you say
you want to create a group, I say 'ok, what do you want to do with that
group?'.
e.g. enforce access control to the engineering building doors ? Allow higher
internet bandwidth to engineering staff ? Something like that ?

This is an interesting one, because applications like apache were the
target for roles/cos. Do you know what Apache does support for
detemining page access via LDAP ?
