Hi Matt,
Excuse my jumping in mid-conversation, but if there’s only a
small group of users in LDAP that you want to have access, I would create a
group or groups for these users, in order to manage them on the molecular
(rather than atomic) level, which would match with how I understand LDAP to
work with GS. Even if some of those groups will have only one user, it future
proofs it a bit for when you want to add users to those roles later.Best, Steve http://www.clemetparks.com/images/esig/cmp-ms-90x122.pngStephen Mather Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Manager (216) 635-3243 [email protected] <http://www.clemetparks.com/> clevelandmetroparks.com From: Matthew Foster [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 03, 2012 9:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Geoserver-users] Map specific LDAP users to Geoserver roles Justin, Our LDAP user base is very large...like thousands of users. I only want to grant access to a small handful of them. Further, I'm only wanting to give them admin rights to one workspace, not full admin rights. Maybe it would be better if I just managed them as "regular" users on the GS and forget the LDAP. My problem with that, however, is I didn't see any way for normal (not admin) users to change their own password. It appears that only someone with full admin privileges can change passwords. Is that right?

I see in the documentation how to map LDAP *groups*, but I need to map specific users. I'm using GS 2.2-RC1.
