Hey Josh,
That's exactly what I was looking for. However, I haven't got it working yet.
I made the code change, but no user groups were created. So I figured maybe I
needed to manually create them and then they would populate. I did that, and
gave them the privileges I wanted but to no avail.
How am I supposed to get the groups once I make the code change.
Thanks,
Patrick
