Hi Nick
Does this feature permit multiple on-the-fly allocation to groups based on a registration value, or is this a single allocation only? As an example, let's say that somebody is a student (as opposed to an employed person), and that as a consequence they could automatically enjoy sponsored membership to a club, as well as have automatic access to a student discussion forum (i.e. 2 different groupings - there could be more). Employed persons would, on the other hand, have to pay full membership price to the club and would not be given access to the student discussion forum. However, the situation could be more complex than this, in that an employed person could also be a student. Would the Auto GroupJive facility be able to handle this? Thanx in advance for your inputs on this...

Not sure I totally understand your use case, but you can create as many GroupJive Auto entries as you want.

Can this create group based on articles list? i.e A group of authors based on haven submitted 5 or more articles. Thanks

Can I assing every new group greated to a user group as owner? I mean, instead of use an ID value as owner, I would that all admins can be owners of those groups. How can I do that (if I can...)?

I don't think you can... I tried but failed
