Greetings,
I have loaded and configured the web part but when I run through creating a user, I only have the option of adding the new user to one of the groups of the current site. I would like to add a new user to perhaps 2,3,..10 sharepoint groups for accessing different sites.
Is there a way in the setup to specify to show all sites and groups of the sharepoint web app, or better yet, is there a way to select the groups/sites I want users to be able to give rights to?
Thank you,

Hi Bsieloff:
In the configuration of the User Account Setup Web Part you have the option to allow users to be added to SP Groups from the current site the WP is configured or from any group within the Site Collection (see image).
So, the answer to your first question about being able to select available groups within the Site Collection, yes, you definitely can. However, this is only within the current Site Collection. This does not work across Web Applications. Since we only license per Web Front End, you could place this WP on a Site Collection within a different web app. and then be able to target users to SP Groups within that Site Collection.
Hope that helps.
If you're looking for a possible custom solution that would allow you to specify which Web App./Site Collection you want an instance of this WP targetted for, you can fill in a quick inquiry to our Custom Solutions team for a speedy quote on cost/time - Custom Solutions Quote Inquiry.

Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for your response. I'm glad to know I was not trying to make the web part do something it was not designed for. Unfortunately my issue is that the web part is not acting appropriately then. I have no option to select any of the site collection's groups I only have the option like your example above where I can only select the groups in the site where the web part resides.
If you clicked the radio button "Site Collection" would you then be presented with a drop down list of all the groups within the collection?
Thanks again,
-Bob
