 [[BR]]
 == Motivation ==
 I recently came across a small usability enhancement I'd like to make.
 When adding a user,
 it is often part of a two-step process to make that user an administrator.
 Why not add a
 checkbox to the registration form that would allow end users to have the
 option to make the
 new user a site manager, e.g.

     [*] Allow user to manage site?

 Alternatively, a menu containing a list of site groups could be used. E.g.
     Choose group for new user
     - Manager
     - Reviewer
     - Member
     - etc.

 == Assumptions ==
 Proposal assumes new feature would be desired, but no research has been
 done to substantiate
 that claim.

 == Proposal & Implementation ==
 I propose modifying 'skins/plone_login/register.cpy' to add this feature.
 The implementation
 would involve UI components (e.g. adding form fields) as well as modifying
 the call to
 portal_registration to include the options necessary to make the new
 member a part of the selected group(s). Possibly move register.cpy to a
 browser view.

 == Deliverables ==
  * Code
     - Modifications to register.cpy and/or modifications plus move to
 browser view.
  * Unit tests
     - Add unit tests to cover newly added code and feature set.
  * Localization
     - Add localization as appropriate.
  * Documentation
     - Add documentation as appropriate, e.g. include in list of new
 features.

 == Risks ==
 Low
