Help with RT Groups and LDAP group

I’ve got the ldap plug in working but I seem to have a disconnect between root and ldap users. What I mean is that I can login to RT using my ldap credentials but I have nothing available except tickets to open, close and new tickets. The root account is still available and when I login with that I can configure rights but my ldap users don’t appear unless I do a search for them specifically. Some rights cannot be assigned because the ldap account does not appear in the list of choices to add a right to.

Can someone point me in the right direction here please?

Your LDAP users are being auto-created as Unprivileged which means they
see the SelfService screen, not the staff/privileged user interface.
Also the default user list only shows privileged users. If you want to
see all users search for %

If you want LDAP users to be automatically created as privileged then
you need to set:
Set($AutoCreate, {Privileged => 1})

If you just want selected LDAP users to be privileged then search for
the user, go into their settings and set “Allow this user to be granted
rights”.
