[Dspace-tech] Login with shibboleth: users get rights but are not added to the group
After updating to DSpace 1.8 our submitters do get their rights through Shibboleth (for example staff or student), but they are not added to the group in Dspace permanently. So these groups stay empty even though users can submit. I cannot find where to configure this. Is there any way to change this behavior?

This is the intended behaviour (thats why they're called special groups) and AFAIK it cannot be changed. But why would you change it, is there any problem with it? They are assigned by the authentication method on login, so there's no point in storing them when the user is logged off and they can be changed remotely (on Shibboleth IdP) and become effective on next DSpace login.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Login with shibboleth: users get rights but are not added to the group
Users sometimes complain that they cannot submit and I would like to know, if they didn't get their rights through Shibboleth (easy start is to look the groups) or they just didn't find the link where to submit. Both has happened and many users don't care to read any help information. Parsing the rights from logs is somewhat tedious. But if this is intended I think I just have to manage with it.
