Describe the feature you'd like
Allows specifying the full DN of a role auto assign group instead of just the name.

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
In large federated AD environment (like the one we have at the University of Ljubljana) each part of the company has their own AD server with a specific domain (subdomain). We would be able to limit a role like wikiadmin to only one in our AD domain and not the whole federation, if someone else were to make a group with a same name.

Additional context
DNs are in same format as usernames:
CN=WikiAdmins,OU=Groups,DC=member1,DC=example,DC=com

Thank for the request here but I'm going to close this off since it's had relatively little demand since the original request and I don't want to expand the scope of the authentication systems without clear & wide benefit.
