Kyle, for hierarchical formatting of a combobox, if CSS won't work (it won't in a <select>), one trick is to insert unicode space characters to push labels to the right (based on tree depth), instead of regular spaces, so the browser won't collapse the values.

E.g. https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2007/index.htm

You can copy/paste the value from the input field at:

If you go this route, though, you have to ensure the preceding spaces don't interfere with the type-ahead matching.

I would prefer not to change the <eg-org-selector/> interface this late in the release cycle. Maybe it's possible to use a combobox inside the org selector directive, so that references to <eg-org-selector/> won't have to change?

+1 to new LP for permission group selector.
