The issue says:
If a User Group is created for IM users we should add by default
the Personal assistant IM User, "MyAssistant", to that IM User
Group by default. This would save every IM user adding the
"MyAssistant" PA IM user as a buddy
I don't think this is a good way to solve that problem.
Putting a user into a group affects more than just whether or not that
identity is allowed to send me messages - it also affects where that
user appears in my buddy list. The users that appear in the
server-defined groups cannot be moved out of those groups or hidden.
Conceptually, the MyAssistant is not in fact a member of those groups -
for example, in our alpha trial system I'm in a server-defined group
"SCSDesignTeam" - MyAssistant is not a member of the SCS Design Team, so
having it organized in my buddy list as one is unhelpful.
I don't see why the problem of allowing the MyAsssistant bot to send me
messages shouldn't be handled in exactly the way letting any user send
me messages is handled - it requests permission and I grant it through
my IM client. At most, we need a button in the user portal I can push
to trigger the MyAssistant asking for that permission.
