You need to query the directory for the "group" information, then add that group to the user's list of groups (can be any string)
To add to the group, either use: $wgUser->addGroup($groupname); or you can use direct SQL:
INSERT INTO user_groups (ug_user, ug_group) VALUES (SELECT user_id FROM user WHERE user_name = 'MHart' , 'groupname');
Then use the $wgGroupPermissions['groupname']['edit'] = true; or whatever in LocalSettings.php
- MHart

Howdy!
I have Media Wiki 1.6.8 setup with Authentication to LDAP - this is behaving as advertised. I would now like to set it up so that only members of a specific group have access to editing the pages, though anyone can view them.
I can send the config file or relevant bits if you think it will help - or do I need to do something different?
