If not already, there will be a new version which has a tab for editing posix group attributes.
 In general, is it possible to modify

The fastest way to modify LDAP is CLI (ldapmodify) ;-).
To exent the GUI for more attributes is possible but less documented.

You can add easy a ACI on that OU Node with the console:
Set access permissions

First you add a user who should get the permissions for manage the users, for example: uid=uhd,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

Choose the container witch contains the users to manage and add there the ACI, for example:
(targetattr = "userPassword") 
(version 3.0;
acl "Permissions to manage user passwords";
allow (all)
(userdn = "ldap:///uid=uhd,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com")

There is also a Fedora CA project.
