[Rt-devel] LDAP Authentication module does not place users under "Everyone"

[Tim Coles]

Unprivileged users get a different interface to that of privileged
users. What rights are you trying to give to 'Everyone'?

Not able to find the link at the moment but if I stumble upon it again
I'll let you know.

Yes, this was what I expected too but unfortunately this is not
happening. It seems that my RT will only place users into the Privileged
group when I give them the "Let this user be granted rights" in the
Access Control of the user.

I tried creating a user manually to verify that the module is not
responsible for this problem and indeed you're right.
When created the user and loged in as him I still do not get the rights
that I have defined for Everyone and Unprivileged.
The only options I have in the left side bar is to view the user's open
and closed tickets and create a new one. 

Any idea what might be causing this problem or were I should start
looking?

Thanks
