A group can be flagged as a "SOLO" group. This means members of this group cannot join any other group. This flag is useful when customers are given access through a public website to your database. You can make the customer group "solo", so that customers cannot be accidentally (or intentionally) given membership in more privileged groups.
The syntax is simple:
group customers:
description: Customers
# Deny all access by default, they
# will be given certain permissions
# at module and table level.
permsel: N
permins: N
permupd: N
permdel: N
# This flag makes the group 'solo', members
# of this group cannot join any other group,
# and vice-versa.
solo: Y
