Oh thank you, it actually helped a lot : I just realize the search was "recursive" and now it actually works and seem to solve my problem.
Now I only have to check if adding permissions to group apply to users who belong to this group, but I guess it should.

And only a part of the attributes are imported to the database (it doesn't seem to be able to display them from the web interface) ? 
That would be a nice feature to be able to filter from any attribute of users. 
Do you think I should open a new RFE bug about it ?
