Importing User classes from Access Manager

We have set up user classes in Access Manager for our existing 7.1 (pre ReportNet) installation, and am preparing for the big move to CRN. 

Can anyone advise if there is a way of using these Access Manager user classes as Groups, rather than the default reference made as Roles.

For example we have Finance, Payroll, Engineering user classes, which we would like to bring through to CRN as Groups, rather, CRN is seeing them as Roles.

Hopefully we don't have to re-create all the groups in CRN and convert all Access Manager User Class' to Roles!?!

thanks,
DW

Based on Q&A in a webinar I attended a couple of months ago I think there is no easy way to migrate your security info from Access Manager.

Does CRN have an embedded Access Manager-type module?

Thanks Blue ... I was afraid of that :( ...

Chias,
CRN uses external LDAP services / interfaces, such as Access Manager to confirm that a user is who they say they are, and then facilitates the creation of roles and groups (similar in concept to User classes) to define what the will have access to.
