No, this was wrong. User administration depends on your backend; some
backends support it, some can't. Groups and permissions can be used no
matter how you are authenticating users, but at the moment the only
categories backend, which they use, is SQL. I would be thrilled if someone
wrote additional backends.

It is the horde_categories table.

No, that is not a possibility.
