Is there any way I can import users into XWiki from an LDAP source. I am
currently authenticating users against LDAP, but am unable to create groups, or
set specific rights to these LDAP users.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,

I think you are looking for a script like this one :

----------------------START---------------------
<%
if (request.get("go") == "1")
{
  results = xwiki.ldap.search("objectclass=*")
  for (res in results.values())
  {
    if (res.get("cn") == null)
      continue;
    username = res.get("cn").toLowerCase()
    username = context.getContext().getWiki().convertUsername(username, context.getContext())
    def created = "created"
    udoc = xwiki.getDocument("XWiki." + username)
    if (!udoc.isNew())
    {
      udoc.delete()
      created = "updated"
    }
    xwiki.ldap.createUserFromLDAP(username, res.get("cn"), null, null)
    print("*" + created + "*" + " ")
    print ("{pre}" + res.get("cn") + "{/pre} [XWiki." + username + "]<br/>")
  }
}
%>

#if(!$request.get("go") || $request.get("go") != "1")
[Import and/or Update Users>$doc.name?go=1]
#end
----------------------END-----------------------

Perhaps you will need to modify it to fit your needs.

You should take a look at the ldap plugin API (exactly this file : 
http://svnmirror.xwiki.org/svn/mirror/xwiki/xwiki-platform/core/trunk/xwiki-...)
