Ok, that burries the "dynamic group" option for my setup. Indeed,
Plone is looking for the attribute 'member' or 'uniquemember' in the
group objects.

Exactly.
But with a filtered Role, won't I have the same behaviour as in
dynamic groups in the sense that the role only has a 'nsrolefilter'
attribute similar to 'memberurl' and not a true list of the members ?
