Thank you for the details!

It’s a classroom setting. We want the students to feel comfortable to pipe up with anything (i.e. questions that they might think are dumb). I suppose anonymous works well as it is for public forums but most of our discussions are going to be limited to specific groups.

We’ve taken this off the short-term goals we want to achieve.

I don’t want something that we need to do every time. If I were to automate this, would I be writing a plugin? Can I have a trigger that pulls a user’s groups and attaches it to their anonymous accounts as they are created? I guess I don’t need to worry about clearing the groups off of these anons since the accounts are deleted after a while.
