   I have been working on a website that will have employee and customer users. All users will be able to register themselves, but I would like the user groups to be defined automatically by the email domain.

   For example, the employee uses the address employee@companyname.com, is there any way to get the @companyname.com users to be automatically defined as employees instead of having them lumped in with the customers/subscriber role so they don't have to be manually changed?

   You can hook in on the "user_register" action, which receives the user ID as a parameter.

   From this, you can get the users email address, and then to change the role they're on, just do the following:

   $user = new WP_User($user_id);
   $user->remove_role('subscriber');
   $user->add_role('employee');

   Hope this helps
