The permission groups are currently regex based.

You do realize we already have 5517 accounts, right (the import script 
creates accounts in this manner too).
It's not like it makes it slower or larger or harder to manage by any

enter pieces of names.

I could also install the patch to make assign a pulldown,but realize
it becomes quickly annoying with >10 users.
