Hi again,

I managed to do this, but in case someone comes up with the same question in the future, here's an overview of what I did:

- Created a usergroups_bo bizobj using usergroupsenvironment as data environment.
- In its post-requery hook I scan through the cursor and build a string with all the groups this user belongs to (i.e. "*$* supervisors *$* managers *$* power users *$*".
- In aUserMgr's registeruser method I added a dodefault() and then I instantiate usergroups_bo into a local variable and issue a requery.
- I then copy usergroups_bo.cGroupsList (the string) into a local property with the same name.
- Then I have a new method in aUserMgr called IsCurrentUserInGroup() as follows:

lparameter tcGroupName
tcGroupName = "*$* " + alltrim( lower( tcGroupName)) + " *$*"
return tcGroupName $ This.cGroupsList

If anyone has better ideas, let's hear them!

Alex
