To let tools share data (config files, etc) with each other!
It would be really difficult to maintain sanity if we allow this...
I've renamed this in response to a recent IRC discussion. The idea is to add service users to service groups so that multiple tools (in different service groups) can have access to files owned by a single shared tool. Seems potentially useful to me.
GUI code is here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/75897/ It adds cross-project service users to ldap. I haven't tested the actual permissions functionality of this. You can play with the GUI behavior (and check my ldap work) here: https://wikitech-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:NovaProject I've been using the 'sg' project for testing.
I see that the patch has been merged. Can we close this, and perhaps add some docs?

Yep!
