Hello, Yes, I don't have roles since I'm using the LDAP authentication, all users are "Admin" at this moment.
Do you think to create a static list in a file or database and check which role has the user? I have thought about creating a static list but my problem is that I have to enter ~1000 users in this list (I have about 20'000 users but only ~1000 have special roles). The solution is maybe to use the groups defined in the LDAP repository, you would have ~10 groups instead of ~1000 users in the static list. But in you have groups, you have to use a LDAP query to know if the authenticated user is in a group. It seems a bit complicated, no? What do you think about the best practise?

So, I would give each user a default role and create a static list of roles with this one role. HTH Carsten
