Actually, I take it back. I am using groups to set admins and normal users, but not global read permissions. It has been working flawlessly for me, that I didn't remember. Go figure.
 
root@observium:/opt/observium# cat config.php| grep Observ
//$config['email']['from']           = "Observium <observium@threefifteen.info>";
$config['auth_ldap_binddn'] = "CN=Observium Service,CN=Users,DC=threefifteen,DC=info";
$config['auth_ldap_groups']['CN=Observium Admins,CN=Users,DC=threefifteen,DC=info']['level'] = 10;
$config['auth_ldap_groups']['CN=Observium Users,CN=Users,DC=threefifteen,DC=info']['level'] = 1;

I added a group "Observium Global Read" to AD and then gave it level permission 7 permission

$config['auth_ldap_groups']['CN=Observium Global Read,CN=Users,DC=threefifteen,DC=info']['level'] = 7;

Then I added a user to it. She showed up as global read and then I logged in as her and I saw all devices.

Hope this helps.

Hi.
I use Active Directory auth through LDAP. 
Using 0.16.2.7561
Here's what my config looks like.
'Observium Service' is a user in my AD for binding.

I haven't tried to assign permissions to a group but I can try that later today, perhaps.

Subject: [Observium] Normal Users not getting permissions using Active Directory

I have included the link at the bottom to where I described the issue which was marked “resolved” and I was pointed here for help. I have the professional version of observium where users are all successfully authenticating, but when normal users log in they can’t see anything. I edited there permissions and allowed them all to see multiple devices(screenshot in link),but they still can’t see anything. Observium recognizes they log in as normal users, but doesn’t let them see any of the other devices they have access to. Global Read, and administrators work fine. I posted my ldap config and a few screenshots in the link.
Thanks for your time!
