Hi there,

I"m a fairly newish user of the slide api (2.0), and am having some trouble 
drawing the distinction between groups and roles.  

I see a a few Role objects (just guest, user and root) in the api, and i see 
the /roles tree in the domain.xml, but I don't see a RoleNode, or any 
examples of usage in the example code.

Then there are groups.  I have read that GroupNodes function just like users, 
but contain Links to SubjectNodes(users), and can be assigned permissions 
relative to an object, behaving much like Roles, but without the programming 
(implementation of *Role interfaces)

What is the proper usage/idiom for the roles vs. groups?  Which is the 
preferred method? How does this relate to the dav ACL stuff?

Thanks,
