Some admins needs to register users in specific user groups if they are from somewhere or use specific email domain.



Simple example: if you want that all users with email @sony.com be registered at a group on your board called SONY, that's the application.




Very smart.

This is tremendously useful to me because with 1000+ employees in our org I have been moving new registrants one by one into the proper employee group. No more.

But outside of work I see this having tremendously fun potential to tweak people for their lame free email accounts:
put .yahoo.com folks into a secondary group "Computer Illiterates" with an appropriate badge.
put .gmail.com folks into a secondary group "Possible trolls" " "
put .hotmail.com folks into a secondary group "Old fogies" " "

You don't need the '.' at the front of them. The emails are name@.yahoo.com, for example.

I use gmail and I'm not a troll. Although seeing how Google has lowered its security somewhat, I could understand if you named it "Possible spammer."

Don't forget to add *.ru, put those people into a primary group of "Waste of a human life," since everyone (or seemingly everyone) with those addresses are spammers.

Hi Adriano

Is it possible to associate multiple domains into one group

eg.

asdf.com => Premium members group1

fdh.com => Premium members group1

hjk.com => Premium members group1

qwe.com => Premium members group2

rty.com => Premium members group2

uio.com => Premium members group2

I just can't tell from the description or screenshots. Thanks.

Sorry. I'm not sure what you're trying to report here. The hook is supposed to work exacly like that:

1 - you tie a domain (sony.com) to a group (Sony)
2 - if someone using any email coming from domain @sony.com, user will be moved to group Sony.

This is what is supposed to happen. If it is happening something different from that, please be clear. I still don't understand what the problem is.

Oh no! Understood what you mean. The app is not supposed to do that. As stated on its description, it only checks the domain. Sony it's a mere example. It can be nasa, hotmail, gmail, invisionpower, etc. The purpose is only to separate people per groups. You can put the group on hold (restrictions) while you authenticate the accounts somehow, etc.

If you want to suggest any other way to tie the users, go ahead... The app will be updated to IPS4; so that's the right time.
