We use LDAP for all kind of authentications (unix, zope, etc).
The roles are stored in an attribute of the user's object, so
each subsystem can use a filter to see only the users who actually
have privilege to use that subsystem.
Think of the filter option of libnss-ldap.

The patch implements the same for Bugzilla

Reproducible: Always

No, it's not fixed.

If you'd like to have your patch accepted or even looked at, please read 
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/contributor.html.

We don't currently accept new features for the 2.16 branch.
