You are in the right chapter... But this will be more clear :
Authorization Once a new user is registered, a new group is created to contain the user. The role of the new user is conventionally "user_[id]" where [id] is the id of the newly created id. The creation of the group can be disabled with 1. auth.settings.create_user_groups = False although we do not suggest doing so.
