We're using LDAP to manage both our users and groups. Currently when we add a user in our LDAP, and add him or her to the correct groups, after they first log in they still only see the public projects.

While we can understand that updates to memberships might need some time to propagate, it's hard to explain to a user that they don't see any of "their" projects after first logging in. I.e. they initially have no memberships.

A solutions to this would seem to perfrom a LDAP group sync whenever a new GitLab user is created in GitLab from an LDAP login.
