the user management has users driven from from groups instead of groups driven from users which is there currently. I wanted to change the ajax calls such that a JSON output of this sort is implemented, I guess this allows me to access users from a particular group better. Any suggestions? I plan to do this over the weekend.. here is the json output I wish to create.

Problems this has : if a user belongs to more then one group, its data is repeated, is there an alternative to this?

pardon the password field. Lukas was kill me. xD
