Appendix : Administration : Getting Started with the MashZone NextGen Server : Use the Default MashZone NextGen User Repository : Automatically Assign New Users to Groups
Automatically Assign New Users to Groups
If you are using the Default MashZone NextGen User Repository, you can automatically assign new users to groups when you add them to MashZone NextGen. This can simplify some of the process of granting permissions to users.
Note:  
The feature is not available if you are using your LDAP Directory as the MashZone NextGen User Repository.
You can add both built-in MashZone NextGen groups or groups that you have added for your organization to the list of default groups to automatically assign to new users. If you make Presto_PowerUser a default group, for example, every new user would be granted access to MashZone NextGen Hub with permission to register mashables, create mashups in Wires, create basic apps and use Mashboard to create workspace apps.
If you also added a group named runRss, assigned this group in run permissions for every mashable that is a web feed and then added it to the default groups, all new users would automatically be granted run permissions for every existing web feed in MashZone NextGen.
To assign new users to groups
1. If needed, open the Admin Console (click in the MashZone NextGen Hub main menu).
2. Expand the Users and Groups tab and click Default Groups.
3. Enter part of a group name and click Search.
A list of groups that start with that name displays.
4. Drag a group and drop it in the Default User Groups bucket.
Continue to find and add groups as needed.
5. Click Save these changes.
New user will automatically be assigned to all groups in the default list. This change does not affect any existing users.
