Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

LDAP users are shown in the contacts app, but not the LDAP groups. But LDAP groups are shown to admins in the Accounts view.

Describe the solution you'd like

Show ldap groups in contacts app in the left sidebar where the other (system-) groups are. Maybe under a separate heading.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by comparing the Accounts view, where LDAP groups already appear for admins, with the contacts app's left sidebar and the existing system-group rendering. Done means LDAP groups appear in the sidebar, possibly under a separate heading, without disrupting existing groups.
