CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

This extension wan't, at the beggining, intended to be published. It was created only with pedagogical purposes. But, as long as it works and can be useful to others -even if it's only as an "inspiration" to create other nice CiviCRM extensions-, we decided to give it a chance.

What it does is pretty standard, so I'm almost sure that, even if there's no extension like that at the extensions directory, other people has developed something like that before.

You can download it from GitHub: https://github.com/amnesty/autogroupassignments/archive/master.zip

What does this extension do?
Auto Group Assignments allows you to specify a default group for each contact created (by members of another specified group).

Lets say that you have, for instance, three groups in CiviCRM: administrators, teachers and students. The administrators, normally, use CiviCRM to create teacher records. The teachers use to create student records. With this extension, you'll be able to assign the "Default Group for New Contacts" when you create, or modify a group.

Hey there, I think it's very useful specially when working with CiviCRM's ACL's. As ACL's work with static groups, this is a good way for making sure that contacts created by one group will belong to a specific group, so ACL's will be applied.
