Additional info:
Here is the list with additional user group id's. You can assign any group ID you need . For our installation we used only 4 but you might need more than that.
Just follow the string and replace $ugid == 25 to the one you need. Our special user group is 26. Replace this with the one you need.
Note: It is group_id not parrent_id # that you need.
