As usually, your comment was very helpfull to me! Today I created in Alfresco my "virtual" groups "CCC" and "DDD" and after sync with LDAP (when new customer groups "AAA" and "BBB" were automatically created in Alfresco), I moved synced groups into the "virtual" groups as subgroups and everything works as I'm expecting. I didn't try this approach before because I thaught, that the new sync with LDAP will allways return mapped subgroups again on base group level with the "virtual" groups.. 🙂 Thanks again a lot!!
