This is pretty much sorted through LDAP and the various tools for manipulating the directory. The simplest is to use the plone interface for managing users and groups, but all the regualr LDAP tools work as well.
Any other systems or services that are part of the DataoNE infrastructure should ensure that the existing LDAP accoutns are used as far as possible to avoid proliferation of identities.
