Be sure you fully think though your use cases and understand the implications.

E.g. if the LDAP is used by unix clients, locking it down to one user or group
may prevent clients from translating UIDs to names and vice-versa, prevent
resolving group membership etc. That would certainly break things.

In this case you might want to craft ACI which exposes POSIX attributes only
and nothing else or so.

Again, think about it :-)
