#1656 - Add a new user to security group via Logic Hook

Closed General Question created by EliasJ 9 years ago

I am trying to automatically add new users to a security group via a logic hook every time a new user is created. Below is what I have managed to put together myself but it just doesn't seem to work.

$sgroupx = new SecurityGroup(); $sgroupx->retrieve_by_string_fields(array('name'=>'Owner_Only_Group','deleted'=>0)); $sgroupx->load_relationship('securitygroups_users'); $sgroupx->securitygroups_users->add($bean->id);

Any advice or sample code that you may have to help will be appreciated, Cheers

    Hi Elias,

    I'll come back with a code example, but another way of going about this is to go to Security Suite Settings and at the bottom set up a default group for the Users module so that any newly created User gets assigned to the Owner Only Group in the "Default Groups for New Records" section.

    The key is to use the link name and not the relationship name for loading the relationship (a huge head scratcher):

                $default_group = BeanFactory::getBean('SecurityGroups');
                $default_group->retrieve_by_string_fields(array('name'=>'Owner_Only_Group','deleted'=>0));
                $default_group->load_relationship('users');
                $default_group->users->add($bean->id);
    

    Hope that helps!
