Users are owners of the list.  The contacts remain in LDAP, but not at  
the same hierarchy.  Ie. The hierarchy which existed at the time of  
creation of contact list is now different.

User has write permission on the list.

Is it required that, when storing a contact after a search from LDAP  
directory, to also to store the LDAP hierarchy?  Can it not be done  
without storing hierarchy?  In our organisational setup, we have  
frequent changes in Hierarchy of a person which get reflected in LDAP.
