If it's any help, Swift just uses an opaque account string. With Cloud Files we 
have several resellers each with their own sets of how accounts and users 
should be structured. We backed away quickly from all that and went the route 
of "here's an account identifier value, it must be unique amongst your 
accounts" for each reseller.

This doesn't prevent us from allowing access controls, etc. as the 
authentication system can return a list of groups (or roles, or w/e, these are 
opaque strings to us too).

Even if Swift had the functionality for mapping org structures, I can't imagine 
our resellers would want to mirror that over to us, it's hard enough to 
maintain in one system.
