Change role assigned to User when they create a Group

I’d like to give the user a different role than “Administrator” when they create a group. In my case I’d like the name of the role to be “Team Captain,” and for them to only have power over the content they create (similar to author role) instead of power over the content site-wide.

Can anyone clue me in on how to change this?

Found this code on how to manage roles in Buddypress: http://cleverness.org/2011/01/27/updated-buddypress-user-roles-code/

However, it doesn’t handle the assignment process when a group is created, any hints?

You create a function and add action so when a user creates a group it hits that function and switches user type. The code shows how to do it for blogs. I’m not sure off top of head what the call is for group creation, it could be bp_create_group or bp_new_group

add_action( ‘bp_create_group’, ‘customroles_group_role’, 10, 3 );
