Priority: Urgent
Current State: Closed
Released In: 1.1.0
Target Release: minor
The new add to group feature on registration form is not finished.
Default a user has to decide to tick off
Wiki Groups to join: BaseGroup AdminGroup NobodyGroup
This is irrelevant and geek talk.
And even with these excluded who say we want all maybe 100+ groups listed here? It would be useless where I work.
We cannot do it like this out of the box
trunk only

Yes, it would be more useful to configure the groups offered on sign-up.
It's not clear to me whether this belongs in configure or
SitePreferences.
It would be nice to tie in additional group membership assignments as a part of the user account moderation process (yet to be invented)

I think a preference setting would be best here as this enables the admins that add groups to also add a new group to the registration form. And if this setting is empty no choices should be visible on the registration form. That would fly.
Personally I run my two production Foswikis with a 4-6 AdminGroup members but we are only two with root access to the server and with configure access.
I see configure access as a higher trust level than people added to AdminGroup. And I think the registration form group list should belong to the AdminGroup level. And this means that SitePreferences would be the right place with an empty default in DefaultPreferences.

excellent suggestion. I added what is there to show what can be done, but stopped because I had run out of ideas :/ (and I tend to try not to make more PREF's
)
I will implement this - though as I've not completed the implementation of this feature, this suggestion really is better off on the feature topic - I'll push it over there

For reference, one of the checkins here has fixed the issue I was seeing where %GROUPS% was showing the members of AdminGroup even though they were explicitly denied access to that topic. Thanks, Sven!

trunk - foswiki 1.1 now has:
Registration configuration options
Add user to group during registration
- Users can be automatically added to the Groups (by setting to
automatic
), or Users can select one of the Groups (by setting to one
) or Users can select Multiple Groups to join when they register (by setting to multiple
) or The Add user to Groups feature can be disabled (by setting to none
)
- Set REGISTRATIONGROUPTYPE = none
- If REGISTRATIONGROUPS below can be set to a comma separated list of Groups, to be shown on the registration topic. If it is unset, then Group change permissions will be used to create the list of groups a user can be added to (for guest driven registration the RegistrationAgent's permissions are used, for logged in user registration of someone else, that user's permissions are used).
