I'm looking to create a blogging platform for a school district -- and I need to use Active Directory to get students and teachers into the system. What I need to know is if I can use different groups within the Active Directory to provide different levels of access to Wordpress. For example, one group of teacher that have X permissions and one group of students who have Y permissions (as well as groups of students and teachers that have no permissions).
Specifically, and ideally, I'd love to see the ability for configuring different groups with different permissions, but I would settle for the ability to create two tiers of users -- those with editorial rights across multiple blogs and those with authorial rights over their own blogs.

Bod, I have modified the code to do what you are asking. I am authenticating via LDAP and creating blogs for users in a certain group.
