This could definitely be done with a plugin. This can be viewed as a security hole, though, so be careful.

We already have the LDAP plugin and an OTP plugin, so I'd assume a similar plugin could be written for MyProxy (though I'm not personally familiar with the technology).

This is an interesting idea. I guess what you're meaning here is that you could add a user to a group and it would automatically have access to everything that that group does. We have that to some extent with the community's groups, but I guess that could be expanded upon. Could you elaborate on the use cases?
