W0ts0n,
So i have admin rights but I can't add a user using the WPE UI. What's the proper way to add a user ?

Found the docs but I still get an error:
[e-mail] not found in LDAP directory. To create a local user, enter the users email

Bug 1155865 strikes again! This is most likely a combination of a slow-to-complete search and a too-short timeout in the plugin.

Current best workaround is to 1) wait a while and try again, then when it still probably says they're not found, 2) add them as a local user and then 3) edit their account to switch their authentication type to LDAP.

Sorry, reopening this, since apparently I need access to the subpage: blog.mozilla.org/community

When I try to login on /community/wp-admin there's this message:
"You attempted to access the "about:community" dashboard, but you do not currently have privileges on this site. If you believe you should be able to access the "about:community" dashboard, please contact your network administrator."

Also it looks like I can publish directly, so perhaps it should be good if you can take a look on my user permissions.

Cheers,

I've added you to the community blog and demoted you to Contributor. You can submit content for approval but someone else will need to review and publish it (you still get credited as the author).

Hi Craig, 

Thanks a lot, and sorry for the confusion. I'm ok with the permissions (actually, it will be great if the post can be published today), but I don't know if there's a procedure or something for new authors.

Cheers,

Hi Craig,

I'm still waiting to publish the post in About:community, can someone check if I can have editing/publishing rights?, I was afraid to have full access on mozilla blog, but not in the community. Please, it's very important to publish that article.

Regards,

My apologies. You now have publishing privileges on about:community.
