What about if there are two "modes" (or even two views), one that is
group centric and one that is resource centric.

Group centric = show groups as roots, with resources as children and
assignments as grandchildren. If a resource is in two groups, it will
appear under both those.

Resource centric = show resources as roots and assignments as children.

I didn't have time to think this through a lot, I just wanted to post it
before I forgot about it. So it might be a useless idea ;)
