That is a good idea.  Maybe we need a two pronged approach... a rule which 
does roll-ups into a group...

- A rule which will add members of all groups in a folder structure by name 
pattern or type or something to a roll-up group

Then once we have that roll-up group, we can use it for other purposes like 
other rules or in ldap or whatever

I think this would be for one off things, if you have an org structure with a 
thousand folders and 3 thousand groups, I think you would want to use the 
loader and not have rules on every folder...

Im fine with waiting until someone needs something like this though...

Thanks,
Chris

Would it be reasonable to restrict folder based operation based on group type 
?

Not a big deal, and I don't have a use case. I was thinking that the
roll-up groups might be identified by type.
