4: Response to Assigning main site users to be members of a subsite group (response to 1)

Hi Janus,
<p>
Try this... not sure though its been a while since I fired up my
OACS.
<ol>
<li>Goto /subsite/admin/groups
<li>Click on "relationship to site"
<li>Click on "add a member"
<li>Click on "membership relation"
<li>Click on "select an existing Person from the system"
<li>select the user then submit
</ol>
<p>
Please post if it did work, so others can just read this thread and
help themselves. Also make sure that you have atleast the release
version.
<p>
I hope other members would kindly confirm or deny the above posts.

I just ran into this problem with a brand-new 4.6.2 site: I created some Main Site Users. Then I created a subsite. Then I created a group in the subsite. Then I limited read access on the subsite to the group. Then I tried to add Main Site users to the Subsite group but the Add Member to Group page says, There is no other Person on this subsite that can be added as Member to groupname. Could someone explain, or point me to an explanation, of User, Group, Person, Membership Relation, Composition Relation, etc?

I would like to add to this with a related question.

When a user regiters on a Subsite is there a way of preventing that user from automatically having access to other subsites and the main site or are users always members of the main site when they register?

When I do what you describe on Openacs 4.6 - I get:

"There is no other Person on this subsite that can be added as Member to davids-group

You can either:

select an existing Person from the system, or ..."

When I choose "select an existing Person from the system" I get a list of users that I can pick from.

This only work on groups I have created myself.
