openldap via roles


Hi,
i am struggling with openldap via roles, if someone could please help, i really appreciate.
i need to create a role under openldap that allows certain tasks. the authentication to ldapserver should be only via roles.
for example, this is what i need:
. a role as admin, a role as developer
. as admin role = you can browse any directory and run any command.
. as developer role = you should be able to browse only /home/dev directory and and write to that directory.
what i do not know (among many other things) on ldap, is
= how to create the ldif for these roles,
= and after the ldif-entry is created, how to put some kind of password for the role for authentication.

ps. i am doing this on fedora core 10.

thank you all, for your help.

ps. i did post this question some time ago on openldap.org but no answer yet also, and i have tons of people asking for this.

./antonio/.

just to add on my question

the role that i need to add, does not need to be directly related to /home it can be anything action that i can test and selective give to a role.
i do not use samba, and the /home are only locally.
thank you all,
./a/.
