I have a situation in which I have two user roles in addition to anonymous and authenticated: admins and non-admins. All of the groups are closed groups, and non-admins must be added by an admin. Admins have the ability to create and manage groups. Even if one admin creates a group, the other admins should all have the same access to control that group.

However, I can't figure out how to auto-include the admins as members of each new group that is created. I would also like to auto-promote them to admin once they are in the group...

I'm running Drupal 6.16 and OG 6.x-2.1. I have tried the Organic Groups User Roles and OGUR Access. I have also tried using Rules to add each user to the group upon creation, but it only lets me add the acting user or the content author, and I need to add everyone in a given role and auto-assign them to be group admins.

I am at a complete loss for how to move forward.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jeremiah

I know this thread is old, but I ended up here, and since I'm super new to Drupal and PHP this may not be the best way to do this but:

This may be a place to start: I needed to always included a specific user when a new group was made of a specific type.
I used Rules to set up when I wanted the user added (On content is going to be saved) and also for which types of groups (We have two types), then used this custom bit of PHP to add the user, auto-approve their membership and promote them to admin.


//I only have to add one user but I imagine you could add a bit in here to get all UID's of users with a specific role
$uid = "12";

$currentgroup = $node_loaded();
$gid = $currentgroup->nid;

og_save_subscription($gid, $uid, array('created' => 1));
og_save_subscription($gid, $uid, array('is_active' => 1));
og_save_subscription($gid, $uid, array('is_admin' => 1));
