Is there a method (plugin) to assign new registrations to a group?

[JaredBusch]

I went through all the listed plugins and various settings and did not see anything that looked like a method to auto assign a group to new registrants.

Along the same line, it would be nice if there was a way to force a group to be displayed for all users without them self identifying.

Obviously, if this was set at registration, that would be best. Then the settings screen would let them change it if they had access to more than one, but never let them set it to no group displayed?

I think you can achieve this somewhat with the reward plugin build into NodeBB. I might be mistaken on this though.

I seen that one, but had not looked into it because I was not after all its features. hmm, something to consider.

@JaredBusch try this plugin nodebb-plugin-assign-newuser-to-group

@JaredBusch It's probably not listed in the ACP plugins page because I have not updated the NodeBB compatibility setting. You can install it using npm i nodebb-plugin-assign-newuser-to-group

@JaredBusch that's expected because I did not update compatibility setting

[wellenreiter]

Ah, I just missed the module and started searching.

Thanks for the hint how to install it
