Description
Our use case is that we need to map circle to groups, which are being synced to LDAP. Writing of LDAP members and groups is now supported in NC 17. This would allow us to connect other services to LDAP or an IDM such as keycloak and have other services such as RocketChat use the same group structure like Circles with the same members. This way, Circle would become the first LDAP compliant self-management tool for liquid organisations.
See also #128 which goes in the other direction: offer an option to restrict those who may assign groups.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by tracing how circles and groups are currently synchronized, then review Nextcloud 17 LDAP group-writing support and the related restriction request in #128. Done should be a setting that maps every circle to an LDAP-synchronized group without changing who may assign groups.
