I have a test network that I have been running samba3 on for a while
(currently 3.0.1pre3) as a Domain Controller on LDAP backend, and I was
under the impression that the User Manager for Domains (from the tools
for NT4) should work as a non-root Domain Admin, but it doesn't.
I seem to have a correct setup, members of my Domain Admin group can
join machines to the domain, and have admin rights on domain members (ie
can create local users etc). If I log in as root on a domain member, I
can use User Manager for Domains to view and change the properties of
users and groups.
However, I can't as a non-root Domain Admin view the properties of a
group or user in User Manager for Domains, or make any changes. If I
double-click a user, I get a "permission denied"-type message.
Now, I have in the past made logs of this, but I don't know if it's
worthwhile debugging or posting a bug if it's not currently intended to
work. Everything else (automatic machine account creation, group mapping
etc etc) seems to work fine, so I don't see that it can be a
configuration problem (unless I missed some documentation ..).
