> Phil, thank you very much for your time. I have tested several
multi-dimensional policies and seems that no combination work together with
group. They do work for user/group though.

I was by the end using the user root to avoid sudoing in and out from user
accounts, but at the beginning I was using a regular user and the symptoms
are the same. As for the queue, I used default because I had created a
queue called default, despite the keyword DEFAULT. Still, I tried lower and
upper case. No difference regarding the multilevel.


What I had to do was actually give up on the group/queue multi level and
fall back on user/queue levels.


Thank you a lot,
D.
