Users are being authenticated and they can see folders assigned to them. Problem we are running into is that people assigned to group "XMLP_ADMIN" are not able to see admin controls on user interface. Regards, Rohit Hi Mark,

As you say, if we were able to do that then we'd be able to pick up the other organizational units. Regards Mark Hi Jim,

You might also try/have to also move the groups DN to dc=rittmanmead,dc=local also. -jim Try this change:
“Distinguished Name for Users : dc=rittmanmead,dc=local”

If the BI application is doing a Scoped Search of Sub(tree) this shoudl find all users from the dc=rittmanmead,dc=local container down.

You might also try/have to also move the groups DN to dc=rittmanmead,dc=local also.
