Group selector | |
The page Adding fields to a Tracker explains how the fields, (columns or questions) of a tracker are set up. Do not use the admin user with auto-assign Using this field in combination with user tracker registration may lock your admin user out of the system when changing a userâs group if logged as admin.
It is suggested first to create a second admin with a different name and good password (of course) for safeties reason (good 2 have 2 access) and that you use a "super user" or the real user you target during your test of behaviour (but mot admin).

The Group Selector | |||||||||||||||
The automatic feeding option of this field type works exactly like the User Selector feeding option except that instead of the user name, it uses the default group of the user.
Note on how to get auto-assignment work in the tracker plugin : If it did not work as you expected, you could hide the field for everyone except for admin, and add it to the plugin's fields parameter. This works for both the group and the user selector fields. One current drawback (in Tiki5.0B1): the field labels are shown in both cases. As long as it is not fixed, one could use pretty trackers to circumvent this problem. Find more details in a related bug tracker item. |
You can access the item attached to your default group with the link | |

Automatic creation of a group with an item | |
You can decide to create automatically a new group each time an item is created. The option is in the tracker admin panel. The new group name will be the concatenation of the tracker name, a space, and the itemId.
If you want to have the item only viewable and editable by the group, you need to set up special permission on the tracker (or configure the global permissions if all your trackers needs the same behavior.
