Setting default role for LDAP users

Is there a way to set a default Role for LDAP users?

We want everyone in LDAP to have have the basic "Applications & Dashboards Viewer" role without needing to go to every single user.

Hello Phillip,

I would suggest referring to  section "Configure SAML Attribute to Role Mapping" in the below documentation link:

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO20X/Map+SAML+Group+to+AppDynamics+Roles

Default permissions will only get applied to the SAML users when the SAML Group Attribute Name configured in the Administration page is not same as the Groups attributes in the SAML response.

In the below case default permission will be applied:

SAML Group Attribute Name - XYZ

SAML response is as below 

<saml:Attribute 
NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:basic" 
Name="Groups">
<saml:AttributeValue 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
xsi:type="xs:string">AppD_Admin
</saml:AttributeValue>
</saml:Attribute>
