Specially for the FE-User Administration it is possible to do this 
rather by configuration then by development. (feuser_admin, 
sr_feuser_register).

TER provides the possibility to use an account as a group. But it is not 
the same as CVS (It would be possible to use a CVS account at

improved. But proposals is one thing ...
