It would be very helpful if FME Server Security supported nesting Roles!

e.g. I have created an Active Directory Connection in FME Server, and I have imported numerous Active Directory Groups - which then become Roles in FME Server. It would be great if I could then add these Active Directory Roles to the existing fmeadmin Role (like you can with Users) - so I can manage permissions in one place!

Role A contains Users A, B, C, and Role D

Role A
- User A
- User B
- User C
- Role D

Or an alternative approach might be to allow permissions to be copied from one role to another.

@gu19495 I like very much to upvote this idea!! We had to add each single user from one of our Active Directory groups to the separate FME Server user group. We would rather have added the existing, separate Active Directory group users to the existing FME Users AD group which connects our Windows users (not all of them) to the FME Server security system.

Please note that this is currently possible in FME Server 2018.1.
