I did some debugging now. Groups which are in the same level as the base DN for groups are shown ( $conf[group][params][basedn] ), but any group not in the same level will not be shown. Though they are appear in the source text of the website frame in the n_admin_group variable. Maybe the code thinks they are subgroups, but there is no real parent group? Yep that is it! Some more debugging code added: ay 19 15:26:59 HORDE [notice] [horde] Group name ls-vondelft [pid 20114 on line 246 of "/var/www/html/horde-3.3.8/admin/groups.php"] May 19 15:26:59 HORDE [notice] [horde] Group parent -1 [pid 20114 on line 254 of "/var/www/html/horde-3.3.8/admin/groups.php"] May 19 15:26:59 HORDE [notice] [horde] Group name lsf-admins [pid 20114 on line 246 of "/var/www/html/horde-3.3.8/admin/groups.php"] May 19 15:26:59 HORDE [notice] [horde] Group parent 0 [pid 20114 on line 254 of "/var/www/html/horde-3.3.8/admin/groups.php"] The group ls-vondelft is in ou=Gruppen,o=physik (same as base), but group lsf-admins is one step deeper: ou=ou-feldmann,ou=Gruppen,o=physik ls-vondelft is shown in the webinterface, but group lsf-admins is not. I think the code for subgroups should be switched off with group driver = LDAP. A quick test with forcing $parent_id to -1 shows that it works then.

Have you tracked this further down?

I don't see how this could happen. admin/groups.php is using listGroups() to build the group tree. Yes, i have seen that, so I also don't understand how this happens.

With a non flat Group structure in an LDAP directory, Groups will not be shown under "Administration" -> "Groups". The LDAP structure. ou=Gruppen,o=physik contains most of the groups and is the search base ou=someOU,ou=Gruppen,o=physik contains some more groups. With this search base only groups in ou=Gruppen,o=physik will be shown. With search base o=physik, no group will be shown. I verified that listGroups() list all the groups, also permissions work, the permission widgets show all groups! Some assumption about a flat structure in admin/groups.php ?
