> As part of the Atlas Virtualization Data Connector work we are using this within a large enterprise with a lot of users & groups stored in ldap.
> The connector -- which has a ranger plugin to apply access control policies -- is used by a relatively small subset of these users. However that can't easily be transcribed to an optimal ldap query.
> Since Atlas will have the definitive list of roles that are being used, this new usersync will instead retrieve a list of roles from Atlas, and will then use this list to retrieve only those users found in this list of roles from LDAP.
> This is an alternative usersync so shouldn't conflict and will use the same ranger APIs
