I just migrated from 1.5 to 2.5.

I also have cb 1.8 installed, and I of course use to manage users with community builder not with the joomla core user interface.

I discovered the new group and accesslevel abilities with joomla 2.5 and I was wondering if there were any way to deal with group management directly within CB 1.8.

I find a bit confusing to deal with user data within CB and groups outside with the core interface.

Since I'm also considering testing and may be deploy groupjive, I was wondering if there were any "bridges" or "consistency" between groups in groupjive with the joomla core groups/accesslevels.

Thanks,

Thanks Krileo,

not sure what you mean by "multi-select dropdown for usergroups" :
I see the possibility to select all user belonging to a group with
the "select group" dropdown menu in the user interface, and I also
see a way to assign groups to a specific user with the "group" field
in user profile, but I don't see any interface to manage groups (nor
access levels) in cb

Do you confirm that "groups" and "accesslevels" menu in the joomla core
interface must be used for that purpose ?

Thanks,

I also see a possibility to register users in
specific groups upon cb fields information with
the "auto action" plugin.

I'm going to investigate that.
