Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It can be interesting to distinguish between external user groups (from an LDAP directory) as these do not work like local groups and should attract attention, especially if there are both local and LDAP groups in the same Nextcloud instance.
Here are two graphical suggestions assuming that "in the program", at this point in the interface, you can retrieve the origin of the group, which will allow you to insert the word "LDAP" before the label, with enough CSS to make it visible.
