Hi all,

I'm quite new to Umbraco, but I need to extend the functionality (I guess..!?) of the member groups, so it can support a hierarchy.

E.g.

* Help desk
*->Denmark
*->Germany
* Development
*->Denmark
*->Germany

Etc.

I know I could create it by just calling the sub groups "Help desk Denmark" or something similiar, but that's not good enough. I need to know which group is the parent and which groups are child groups.

Which options do I have to implement this?

Do I need to change the membergroup class and thus run with my own Umbraco version, or can it be done in a more convenient way?

The membertypes can be assigned properties, so I thought about adding my own Member Type picker control, and let child "groups" (Or in this case, types) choose their parent. But I don't think it's the right thing to do, as member types is not at all the same as group memberships.

What would you do?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards
René G.
