The default user group can be changed in the user configuration of joomla but you can have different user groups based on parameters in the URL. Not unless you modify the registration view to add an hiddne input field for that parameter and create a user plugin to change the user group of new users based on that hidden field value.

The only solution is to make a user plugin like explained above.

Let's consider each vendor has its own joomla user. There are Hikashop-powered registration pages for Vendor and regular clients, is there a way to assign vendors to a group and clients to another? One of the groups can be the regular 'Registered' group. Last edit: 10 years 6 months ago by [zaratustra27](/forum/user/7005-zaratustra27 "View zaratustra27's Profile").

In your case, I would recommend to look at this plugin: [ extensions.4u2.co.il/hikasop-user-group-ftw](https://extensions.4u2.co.il/hikasop-user-group-ftw) It allows you to assign a customer to a user group based on the value of a custom field.

But it would be cheaper to use what's already there unless you're a developer yourself and have the time.
