Add possiblility for a default team when using external auth (like LDAP)
We use LDAP auth and users are able to login without being member of any team. We are now running a cronjob ensuring every user is part of our company wide team.
We would like the possibility to have mattermost assign newly logged in users to a default team.

This use case is now available with AD/LDAP Groups, available in Mattermost Cloud and Mattermost Self-Managed E20.

- Self-Managed E20: https://docs.mattermost.com/deployment/ldap-group-sync.html

I too have many users that need to have their interactions segregated for contractual/regulatory reasons. Each user is a member of several user groups in LDAP to help ensure access restrictions are closely enforced. Mattermost is a great product, and we are very happy with it, but having a bit more integration with LDAP for security/access policies would be fantastic.

This is very interesting for my setup as well. I'm looking into using mattermost for my workplace. However, since our organization is so diverse, we need to be able to assign group/team membership through the LDAP database. If we are to use Mattermost, I'd have to write a bunch of cronjobs to assign all different groups.
