I have already done so. I created by own provider and added it to the  
list of current providers (both in the  
spring/applicationContext-services.xml and the  
services/usermanager/*router files.

The problem is, however, that adding users won't happen on my custom  
provider, instead it uses the jahia provider (which still has order=1  
IIRC). Should I just change the order and make my custon provider the  
first in line?

BTW. For group editing (which now works BTW.) I had to edit the  
group_edit.jsp file, since there are some checks that only allow group  
editing for the jahia provider.
