Thanks! That did work. However, is it at all possible to set "defaults" for
any user being created via the console.

When creating a user, they still have to go through the process of saying
when the person can register, their access duration, and assign their
role.  I'd rather when they click "create" that it auto-generates the role
and their registration window.  Even if it's changeable, it'd be really
nice to have that all setup by default.

Also, when I logged in with the account, it opened to the Dashboard and
complained that the user didn't have permission to see the
default-generated data. I also don't know that I want the guest creators to
be able to see all users.  Not a huge deal, but it's definitely not as
"clean" or smooth as the 3.x Guest Management interface.  The reason why it
matters is that our Front Desk workers frequently change, and when they
have to go in and assign roles, etc, they actually need some training on
it.  With the old interface, we could just have a link on the computer's
desktop, and when they got to the form, it was all completely
self-explanatory with the default values being perfectly valid.

Thanks again for all your help!
