Description
I'd like to have the option to add remote federated users to local groups. We're running a club and manage common file, events, … through Nextcloud. Since many of us already run their own Nextcloud instance we'd like to just share the data with them instead of creating new users for them.
In order to keep this manageable I'd like the option to just add remote users to a local group, so that changes to the membership or position within the club can be assigned to these groups without having to add/remove remote users to/from each share (file, calendar, …).

Research direction
Start by reading how local groups, remote federated users, and shares for files and calendars are currently handled. Identify the relevant existing tests before deciding where group membership is resolved. Done means remote users can be added to local groups and group membership changes apply to the club's existing shares without per-share user changes.
