Description Denis Roy CLA 2006-11-10 10:26:58 EST 
There is currently no easy way to query LDAP for the following:

- given a user id, get the list of groups they're in
- given a iser id and a group, return a boolean if a user is in the group

I propose two new methods for LDAPPerson:

$array = getUserGroups(userid)
$boolean = isUserInGroup(userid, group)

This would allow us to restrict some Committer Tools pages to specific UNIX groups.

As we're phasing out Committer Tools, this is no longer needed.
