Hello,

I have a problem with the LDAP connection. Is there a possibility to read the members of a security group and create them as users?  
Or to read out just the users from different groups?

Example:

```
 DC
  --> OU 1
      --> OU 2
           --> OU 3.1
                --> OU Employee
                    -- > Departments 1
                               .
                               .
                               .      
                    -- > Departments X
           --> OU 3.2
                --> OU Employee
                    -- > Departments 1
                               .
                               .
                               .      
                    -- > Departments X

```

That would be the structure in our AD, I would now have to read out all users from the Departments OU’s. Or will it work with just the members of a security group?

Could it work through group filters?

Thanks for your help.

it didn’t work out for us - that’s why we added a special user group and work only with it. Nesting rocket does not seem to support.

Any news on this?

The LDAP filter as describes [here](https://rocket.chat/docs/administrator-guides/authentication/ldap/) should allow to read users from subgroups, but I couldn’t get it running either (with Windows Server 2016) and RC 3.0.2 as Docker on Debian.
