Adding registering users to a group automatically

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hello everyone.

Basically what I am wanting to do is have a page of pdf files the visitors can download. But I want to collect their email address when they do.

My plan was to make the page, and set the permissions to a specific group. As people access the page, it asks them to sign up. I have all of this working. The only problem I cant seem to get, is adding them to the group of users I have set up automatically when they register.

I am sure I am missing some thing simple, but cannot seem to find it.

Thanks in advance.

If you navigate to the page, check the page out for editing, click the "Permissions" tab and then uncheck "Guest" from the list of groups who can view the page, but then make sure that "Registered Users" is checked, I think this would work for you. Then only registered users on the site would be able to access a particular page.

It sounds to me like that's all you'd need. If you want to put users into another group – like, a specific real group that you control that you might put users in and take users out of – then you might want this addon:

It lets you specify an additional group to put users in when they register. From what you're describing I don't think you need this, but I thought I'd mention it.

That addon is exactly what I needed. Thanks!

I had the permissions part set up correctly, but couldnt figure out how to add the people that register to the group that I wanted automatically.

thanks!
