Hi Jens, Thanks for the quick reply (and the great product!). I was looking more at the GroupUserFolder concept (by ingeniweb) but you are correct in that I was getting confused with "groups" in LDAP as well. For an example: I want to creat a group (GrpA) that can access a particular directory (DirA). So do I set up GrpA with the role of member in DirA and then set up individual(s) (or another group) to act as reviewer, OR can I set up roles within GrpA (member, reviewer, manager etc) that then apply in DirA?

I understand what roles are but am having trouble working out how to use groups with reference to roles. For example does a group have a role or do people have a role within the group? Or can it be both? I am trying to tie this all in with LDAPUserFolder and the GroupUserFolder but still not "getting it".
Any help greatly appreciated.
