Hello everybody,  
I have trouble writing LDAP role\_mapping.yml.  
I want to map users who are members of both 'elk-users' and 'team-core' groups to an elastic role. I did it through API and Lucene language using the 'all' keyword but cannot translate it to YAML file.  
this is my role\_mapping file contents:

```auto
superuser:
  - cn=elk-admins,dc=yektanet,dc=tech
test_role:
  - cn=elk-users,cn=team-core,dc=yektanet,dc=tech

```

the superuser role mapping works well but the second mapping always fails (no roles for a user with both elk-users and team-core group membership).

I would be grateful if someone helps me through this.  
Thanks.

It is not possible to do that in the role mapping file.  
If you need that functionality then you will need to use to role mapping API instead.

Thanks for the answer.  
However, it's worth mentioning I did a workaround by putting my LDAP query in `user_search.filter` field:

```auto
user_search:
  base_dn: "dc=yektanet,dc=tech"
  filter: "(&(cn={0})(|(memberOf=cn=elk-users,dc=yektanet,dc=tech)(memberOf=cn=elk-admins,dc=yektanet,dc=tech)))"

```
