[ome-users] LDAP use case

[Aleksandra Tarkowska]

Hi Stephen

Definitely ldap plugin allows only to authenticate. Your use case is  
not one of our testing system. Could you please send me in private  
more details - examples of ldap structure and how would you like to  
manage groups? Your feedback would definitely be very useful.

Thanks
Ola
