How can I set a default user group?

How can I make it so that when an Admin or Power User clicks "Create User", the new user is automatically assigned to a group? I've been poking around the source and schema files for a while, and I'm not sure how to accomplish this.

As far as I know it is possible by using this extension point:

<extension target="org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.usermanager.UserService" point="userManager">
    <userManager>
      <defaultAdministratorId>johndoe</defaultAdministratorId>
      <defaultGroup>members</defaultGroup>
    </userManager>
  </extension>

I got this information from: http://doc.nuxeo.com/display/ADMINDOC/Using+a+LDAP+Directory

Kind regards, Bauke
