Description
I installed a rocket.chat server by snap, then i tried to configure LDAP with read only privileges user.
I tested the connection and got bad credentials error from the server UI.
Only when the IT inserted their admin user the connection was established..
Does Rocket.chat requires high rank permissions ?
What could be the reason i got the error?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the LDAP connection test on the snap-installed Rocket.Chat server with the read-only account and compare its result with the admin account. Check the server logs around the failed test to identify why the UI reports bad credentials; done means a valid read-only LDAP account connects successfully without requiring elevated privileges.
