CBSubs Registration Overrides ACL

• Our Veterans association Website is configure so that every new accepted registrant is first assigned to a user group labelled "eligible," as in the person is eligible for membership in the association.
• When manually applying newly minted membership plans to specific Web user account, CBSubs ignored the configuration in the Joomla User Manager and assigned the user group "Registered" to each individual.
• This works directly against the ACL organization of the Website. Not one of the 570 veterans who are currently Website account holders is assigned to the "Registered" user group.
• Of course this means a lot of manual labor as we fully implement CBSubs on our Website, and it shows that we will have to manually modify each new account registrant if that person buys into one of the several Regular Member plans.

Community Builder presented no obstacle to the implementation of our ACL policy and procedures. I understand that each person who selects a plan is registering with the Website and is, therefor, "Registered." But that's simply the starting point for us, and we have several valid reasons for doing things as we have set them up.

By the way, we depend on our ACL to control content access across the board; we want to use CBSubs only to automate our membership registrations and renewals.

Thank you for your suggestions.

CBSubs should not touch usergroups unless it has been told to. Within Users > Manage > Options ensure you've "New User Registration Group" set to "eligible". Next edit your CBSubs plans within CBSubs > Plans and under the Access tab ensure "User Group" is set to "No change of usergroup".

I had set:

• Plans | Access = "USNCVA Member"
• Users | Options New User Registration Group = Eligible

Assigning the proper plan to individuals through CB | User Management resulted in the additional assignment of the "Registered" user group to each individual.

By the way, I think this topic was moved from the CSubs GPL forum to Professional Member Support Forum.

CBSubs likely didn't do it then. The Registered usergroup is selected by default in CB > User Management > New. You need to check what usergroups you've selected for the user when creating them as CBSubs will not control a usergroup it's not specifically configured to.

If you've "New User Registration Group" set to "Registered" within Users > Manage > Options then they're going to get the Registered usergroup (not controlled by CBSubs) as you're telling Joomla and CB their newly registered usergroup should be Registered.

Yup, always use the highest subscription support forums available to you. Our current support priority is as follows.

1. Developer
2. Professional
3. CB Paid Subscriptions
4. Single Add-on
5. Template
6. Presales

The default user group assignment for newly registered users is:

Users | Options New User Registration Group = Eligible

"The Registered usergroup is selected by default in CB > User Management > New. You need to check what usergroups you've selected for the user when creating them as CBSubs will not control a usergroup it's not specifically configured to."

I don't find a means to select any default user group assignment in CB | User Management. I would wonder if the recommended setting in CB | Configuration | Registration | Allow User Registration (Yes Independent of CMS "allow registration") has something to do with this. However, until the issue I've submitted, this has never conflicted with the default user group assignment in the Joomla User Manager.

Perhaps I've missed something.

When creating (or editing) a user within CB > User Management their usergroups are controlled by the "Group" field and is on the "Contact Info" tab by default.
