Associating Roles w/ OU #4909

I think I know the answer to this is "No", but I wanted to ask just to see if anyone had a thought about it. We have a need to associate roles with specific Organization Units (OU) and allow users to have different roles with different units.

Our company is in education, and typically we have users who are administrators, aides or teachers. However, we often have users who have multiple jobs and so they may act as a teacher within the context of a specific school, but may have an administrative role in the context of their district. Setting up a hierarchy of districts and schools within the OU data structure is easy. But how hard is it to say that User A has role Adminfor OU District 1, but role Teacher for OU School 2? As I understand it, this is not possible. The user is simply a member of each OU and has both roles in all contexts. Any ideas?

Thanks, Bryan

    I would go simple and create 2nd account for those people who have multiple roles in your organization.
