Research direction
Start with admin_manual/configuration_user/user_auth_ldap_api.rst and admin_manual/configuration_user/user_auth_ldap_cleanup.rst, focusing on LDAP group membership and cleanup behavior. Document that a matching gidNumber can make a user appear in a group even after removal, so the existing web-interface and occ output are understandable; the relevant documentation should clearly explain this behavior.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
If gidNumber from user entry matches gidNumber from group, user will also be considered as part of this group. Then after removing a user from LDAP group, and cleanup with ldap:show-remnants, user is still shown as a group member in web-interface and occ output.
Should be noted in documentation, as it may lead to raising a ticket from customers, who tries to remove users
