Notice the populator is no longer DefaultLdapAuthoritiesPopulator. Instead, we've defined NestedLdapAuthoritiesPopulator which subclasses DefaultLdapAuthoritiesPopulator and adds a mapping for extra roles. In the extraRolesMapping, the keys are child roles and the values are parent roles.

titleapplicationContext-acegi-security-ldap.xmlxml
<bean id="populator" class="org.pentaho.platform.plugin.services.security.userrole.ldap.NestedLdapAuthoritiesPopulator">
  <!-- omitted -->
  <property name="extraRolesMapping">
    <map>
      <entry key="ceo" value="bireporting" />
      <entry key="cto" value="bireporting" />
    </map>
  </property>
</bean>

If the roles that serve as "parents" to nested roles cannot be returned by a traditional all authorities search, you'll need to add the parents to the list returned by your existing all authorities search using a transformer. The ExtraRoles transformer handles this.
