Security for roles in LDAP

Hello all,
i am new at OpenKM, i am trying to secure the taxonomy based on roles. The roles are defined as "ou=Groups" in LDAP and are correctly shown in the Roles List in administration Tab.
Users are defined in "ou=Users" and are correctly shown in administration tab, together with the correct roles assignment defined by "memberUid" attribute in the Role.
All users are in ROLE_USER LDAP group and works fine as ROLE_USER.
okmAdmin is in ROLE_ADMIN LDAP group and works fine.
There are no gid conflicts.
In the taxonomy there are folders assigned to different roles, let's say Org1, Org2 etc. BUT NOT to ROLE_USER.
Users can't see the folders, not even the ones that belong to their groups.
Users can see the folders belonging to ROLE_USER, but in this case the role-based separation is lost.

There is a way to define the active role of an user? Am i missing something?

OpenKM 6.3.10, OpenLDAP, Debian 10.
Best Regards

First I suggest starting with OpenKM configuration parameters in the adminsitration and at the end work with login.

If you share your current configuration ( change you base by another if it is a problem in sharing real data ) we'll take a look on it. Also share distinguised named of some users ( samples ) and relevant attributes assigned to them.

Consider this configuration as a sample https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/ok ... -name.html a more general one will be ( may be a better aproach ):
