Nevermind. I thought there was a builtin web2py way for this but I just did this instead (after sifting more through the groups):
def groupadd(check_group): if not db(db.auth_group.role==check_group).count(): db.auth_group.insert(role=check_group) groupadd('Admins') groupadd('Maintenance Users') groupadd('Download Users') auth.settings.register_onaccept=lambda form: auth.add_membership(auth.id_group('Download Users'),form.vars.id) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Apr 1, 12:06 pm, Mike <m.she...@gmail.com> wrote: > DISCLAIMER: very new to web2py, read book and building first app... > > I'm having some brain cramps trying to add some default groups. > Basically I need some default groups set-up when I rollout my > application, like Admins, End-Users, Management - when users register > one of us will manually filter them into the right group (this is fine > for our environment).
