    Hi,

    My organization has recently moved from Sharepoint 2007 to 2013 - double hop attach upgrade method.

    I`ve successfully used this script in order to import users to SP groups. However, the interesting thing is that although the users are listed under the correct groups the permissions do not seem to be effective.

    To be more specific: for site A i have 3 groups: Owners / Members / Visitors. If i add via this script a user to any of the groups it wont have any "effective permissions" in site A. If i use the management GUI in order to add the user everything works as expected...

    What could be the reason behind this behavior?

    Y-nP
