Controls

LDAP groups
This section shows all LDAP group records found on the LDAP server. By checking one or more checkboxes next to group records and then hitting Delete you can remove group records from LDAP.
Add LDAP group
In order to add a new group you only need to provide a group name and type. This name shuld be a "friendly" name, meaning it must not have any LDAP prefixes like "cn=". Once you hit "Add" you will see the new group in the listing or an error message above the listing.
LDAP group to Zope role mappings
If a LDAP group has been mapped to a Zope role it will show up in this list. Checking the checkbox next to an entry and clicking "Delete" will remove the corresponding mapping. If you map a LDAP group to a Zope role then any user who is a member of that group in LDAP will receive the Zope role it is mapped to.
Add LDAP group to Zope role mapping
This add can be used to map a LDAP group to a Zope role. Select the desired LDAP group name and the Zope role name that members of this group are supposed to have and hit "Add". This form will only show Zope roles that already exist on the Security tab, minus "Authenticated", "Owner" and "Anonymous".
