Hi Nada, if you're using LDAP, you may put the name of a DSpace group (create this group first) into login.specialgroup [1] and all users who log in via LDAP will be members of this group while they're logged in. You can check this group membership in the profile of the logged in user. In addition, you may put LDAP users into different DSpace groups based either on their LDAP DN or value of an LDAP attribute [2]. All of this is documented in [3]
If you're using Shibboleth, read more about role-based groups here [4] and here [5].
