Environment
Novell Filr 1.0
Situation
Net Folder contents not being seen by users who have rights granted via group membership.
If rights to a specific file are granted through group membership then that group must be imported into filr for the rights to be determined. Otherwise the file is not displayed.
For example, members of the group "Administrators" have full rights to the Windows Share. UserA is a member of the Administrators group. UserA logs into Filr but is unable to see the contents of the Windows Share via the Net Folder.

Resolution
There are two solutions.

or
Include the Administrators group via the LDAP sync process.
