Not answered Active Directory Role Permissions

Hi... I have finally gotten Sitefinity to use Active Directory login. I'm having a problem assigning role permissions however. I do have AD group assigned as Unrestricted in the web.config file, and that user can login and has full access. Other users in other groups that I have assigned Allow access in Sitefinity, can not access what they need to.

For example, I have a user called TESTUSER. In Active Directory he is a member of GROUP1 and GROUP2. He can login to Sitefinity okay.

In the admin console, I have tried to grant Allow to CMS Access for both of those groups. In addition, I have even granted Everyone CMS Access for testing. The user still can not get into the CMS admin section. When trying to get to the dashboard, the error page about "This type of page is not served." comes up.

Any ideas?

THANKS!!!

I thought I found my solution in this KB article:

http://www.sitefinity.com/support/kb/sitefinity-3-x/telerik-active-directory-role-provider-%e2%80%93-problem-with-the-getrolesforuser-method.aspx

but adding that CustomRoleProvider did not do the trick. Still, the only user group that has CMSAccess is the group listed as Unrestricted in web.config.
