create user group after integrated with phpbb

[martinntiram]

Dear all,
    from the docs folder, i found the admin can create group at groupmgr.php page; after integrated CPG with phpbb2, i found the add group button had disappear, is it mean that all group config at CPG based will base on phpbb2 one? And the default user group at phpbb2 user is 'Members', can it be changed?

   Thank a lot.

when using bbs integration, all groups setup is done in your bbs, so the answer is: yes, create/change any groups in phpbb when using phpbb integration. Remember to visit coppermine groups manager once everytime you changed groups in phpbb, since this triggers the resync between phpbb and cpg.

Thank first.
  i would like to ask that how to change new register member default group at CPG? I found at CPG, the default group is 'Member' and seem no other option to change this.

that's phpBB's default group, not coppermine's. Like I said: all group membership stuff is handled in phpBB when using integration. If you're not happy with the default group being "Members", check phpBB's support forum on how to change this.

thx for reply, i had make more clear about the group
   But i tried to create a new group a phpbb (say 'base group'), add a user to this group (say 'newbie'), and then i visit the group management page at CPG. I can see this group name and then i changed some permission (say 'quota of upload to 1K', allow to upload to 'No'). After submit,  'newbie' user still can upload a large image file, seem still using old 'member' group permission.
    Anything i had missed?
    (Sorry for long question)
 
     Thx

afaik phpBB allows membership in more than one group. Have you checked that the user is only member in "newbies" and not in "members"? If he's in both groups, the permissions add, resulting in the user inheriting the permissions of the "members" group, since your members group seems to have more privileges.
