Hi Folks.
In Rules 2, I'm trying to work out how to assign all users of a role (Manager) to be members of every OG group of a certain content type (Company). Ideally I'd like this to happen when ever a new 'Company' node is created but would settle for a cron based trigger if I have to.
Does anyone have any pointers as to how I might achieve this?
Triggering a rule on node creation and adding a condition to check the content type is pretty easy. It's the rest that I'm a little fuzzy on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try a User_Reference Field
Would it work to add a User Reference Field with multiple values to content_type Company? To make your Select List for that field you could use a View filtered by Users where Role=manager.
Event: after saving new content
Condition: content type = company
Action: Load referenced user (select the referenced field)
Action: Promote user to an Admin in the specified group (Use PHP to return the $node title as the group name)
In my rules, I have only used single values in the user_reference field, but maybe it will work. I am not a coder and I often find out later that there are easier ways to do things. I only offer this as a suggestion of what I would try.
Thanks for the suggestion. I
Thanks for the suggestion. I might give that a try.
