adding an ldap group to Project-based Matrix Authorization when an ldap user exists with the same name?

[Randy Rue]

Hello All,

The "add user or group" dialog only asks for a single string and then returns an ldap user when I need to add a group with the same name.

I've experimented with entering the complete cn with no luck.

Also fiddled with the search settings in the hopes of making it fail a user search or to search for groups more directly.

Any advice?

you may get lucky if you prepend ROLE_ to the group name.
long long ago you needed to do that before it was improved (like 10 years ago). I think that functionality remains to retain backwards compatibility and thus it may work to disambiguate the user and role.
