new users not showing in group

    Recentley I have been become administrator of an freepbx system using fop2 as the panel. However, I'm unable to show new users in the right fop2 group, all new users end up under "extensions", even while checked under the right group in the fop2 groups in freepbx. The older (exsisting) users show up under the correct group.
    The "extensions" group does not evening exsists, but I assume this some sort of default group

    First I thought I maybe was unable to write to the config file, but in fact I can check or uncheck users in fop2 groups in freepbx and that settings do persist. It just seems that the shown user panel doesn't reflect the settings there.

    Updated to latest fop2, still teh same issue.

    What am I missing here?

    I know it is confusing, someone perhaps can tell me how to name the two "groups" we have in fop2.

    You are confusing one with the other. What you want is to visually group buttons on the screen, lets call that "visual groups". A visual group is configured in the FOP2 BUTTONS page, you have a field for each extension named "group", just write whatever you want. Extensions with no group defined will be displayed in the Extensions box. If you write "ZZZ" for some extension, a new box named ZZZ will appear on screen containing that extension or any others with the same group.

    The other group feature is what you can define in the FOP2 GROUPS menu. This lets you limit the display and actions to a particular subset. Then, you can assign these groups to a user, and that user will only be able to see the buttons that are part of the groups it has assigned. We can call this something like "Filter Groups" if you want. This groups can also be used to limit your custom permissions to a subset of buttons. They do not affect your visual grouping in any way, they will just filter out whatever is NOT part of the group you have assigned *if* you have some groups assigned.
