Choose groups when creating users

Question

Is there a way to add a list of groups with checkboxes beside in the Create user part of the portal? I would like to have checkboxes for a small nr of groups when helpdesk is creating a user so that the user is added to that group automatically. I don't want to use some other attribute and check that using a business rule.

Hello,

Currently, the only way how you can do what you want is to add a set of Adaxes custom boolean attributes to the form for creating users, 1 attribute for each group. Boolean attributes can be displayed as checkboxes, so users will see exactly what you want: a set of checkboxes where they can tick the groups they want.

Then, a Business Rule triggered after creating a user will add the new user to the necessary groups using a script.

If you want to implement such a solution, here are a couple of links that can help you:

2. How to automatically run a script after creating a user: http://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_Automat ... ngUser.htm ;

3. Scripts that can help you writing your own script for the solution you need:
