What happened?

It looks like in the latest version, the LDAP Sync button is no longer available for administrators.
It only appears for super admins. Is there a way to give administrators access to this without making them a super admin?

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Microsoft Edge

Can you reproduce this on the public demo?

N/A

Do you have full multiple company support enabled?

No

If you have full multiple company support enabled, do you have location scoping to company enabled?

That's not really a bug, it was a choice we made. LDAP syncs should really be run on a cron, as they can often time out on larger directories, and with FMCS+location scoping, it gets messy letting users who could be company or location-scoped touch things that cross companies/locations.

You'd want to set up a cron in the container that periodically runs php artisan snipeit:ldap-sync

The default time limit is 10 minutes. The default memory…
