[Using Sakai] Sakai Instructor Roles/Permissions

[Laura McCord]

No, that didn't work. I'm wondering if it is an LDAP issue like you 
suggest. When I look under 'Account' while I'm logged in as a faculty 
member I get an empty User Type. Should this be populated with 'faculty' 
or 'Instructor'? How is this information populated?

Thanks,
 Laura
