It might be useful for this to be configurable behavior.  In dev, 
perhaps you want to run without security and no-mapping scenarios should 
be ignored or defaulted.  In test/prod, you may want an error if a role 
reference is not explicitly mapped.

The question is who "owns" the group-role and role->reference mapping 
information, from both a UI and persistence perspective.
