For now, can you please give me an understanding of the MembershipModule?

- where is, e.g., getName() ?
- I can see: assignRoles(User user, Set roles)
  does this mean, that all roles are only assigned to the user?

Let's imagine a "dynamic role assignment" feature with:
- assignRoles(Group group, Set roles), which adds roles to a group
- assignUser(Group group, Set users), which adds members to a group

and the IdentityLoginModule evaluates the group memberships of the
user, which is logging in, and assigns all roles of all groups found.

This would reduce the management effort if, e.g. one role (i.e. portal functionality) shall be removed from a whole group of users.

What do you think about it?
