Mike,

Wide indeed, but it helps knowing I'm not driving off road, so thanks anyway.
I know the 'regDomain' parameter, but I can not believe that we have to create
new Registration Domains just for the sake of
User Groups. It makes no sense to me that they be on a one to one relationship.

On the other hand, as it is now, creating even one new Registration Domains is
a pain, because you have to modify (add 'regDomain' parameter) all jsp-s under
expresso/jsp/register.
So I'm quite doubtful whether this is the way to go.
