    Changing user's Primary Usergroup upon registering

    Once a user confirms registration, they are automatically made a member of the "Registered Users" group (id: 2) by default. Is it possible to change this? Meaning, when a user first registers, I want to automatically assign them to "Newbie Group with Limited Permissions" group, for example. Then after meeting a promotion requirement, they move to "Registered Users". Is this possible?

    The only workaround I can think of is to replicate the "Registered Users" group using a different name, then change the name and/or permissions of the original "Registered Users" group.

    Searched the forums but couldn't find an answer. TIA!

    Your workaround is the only way - to modify which group they go into would involve modifying the code which isn't supported here.

        Why not make the Registered Users group the limited permissions one, and then use promotion to a group with more permissions afterwards, that is what I am doing, I tell people they must first introduce themselves in a specific forum, once they have done that they are moved a to a different usergroup that enables them to use the website more fully.
