Hey there,

it would be great, if I can choose a "default-Group" for new clients. So, I have an Guest Wi-Fi, and it would be great if the Pi-Hole switch every new device to my guest-group automatically.

Why not use the already implemented "default" group? New/unconfigured clients are automatically assigned to this group. You could create a new group "know clients" and move new clients after approval to this group.

Because, on my default group is no client automatically, I have to assign all new clients manually to a group.

So I can add them manually and after that I can assign it to an group. But I meant it would be great, if any new client would be added automatically to specific group.

> Unconfigured clients are automatically members of the group "Default". Going to Group management/Clients this association is [not obvious](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/pi-hole-v5-0-is-here/31843/45). Known clients are presented in the drop-down menu but no group association is visible. Therefore I propose to change the way new clients are displayed at Group management/Clients. Remove the drop-down menu (but keep the possibility to add manually configured clients/subnets) but add the clients to the "List of configured clients" (title has to be changed). B…
