-Since the groups you've configured for your users in your windows server does not match the roles used by Blocks, you have to add role mappings to the Blocks configuration file. Do this by defining a server.auth.rolesMapping parameter where the keys are the group names of your windows server configuration and the values the roles Blocks know about. For example:+Since the groups you've configured for your users in your windows server do not match the roles used by Blocks, you have to add role mappings to the Blocks configuration file.

 +However, if you want to fine-tune specific User's roles and what they can access to, utilizing Block's User Groups feature, that is also possible. Once a user logs in with its ADFS account, Blocks will then verify if that user already exists within the Blocks system, mapping the ADFS UPN (**User Principal Name** - typically an email) used to a Blocks respective username. If the user does indeed exist, Blocks will override the User's Role specified above (rolesMapping) and add any Groups it can belong to.
 +
 +For example: John belongs to an ADFS group called "SomeGroup5". And rolesMapping above specifies SomeGroup5 as a Contributor. But John in particular we want him as an Editor, and he should only have access to a specific Blocks Group, where he will be responsible on editing a few Blocks. As a Blocks Admin, I just simply need to create a Blocks Account for John, using his email john@mycompany.com (ADFS UPN) as a username. And then in Blocks I add the desired role (Editor) and tie him to a user group with the desired permissions. Those will then take over, next time John logs in into Blocks.
