I'm looking for an easer way to create a page that lists all the active users of a certain K2 or Joomla group. Now I have a menu item of type 'latest items' where I have to manual select authors to be shown on that page. I've set the number of articles shown to 0, so the page only contains the author profiles. See: www.ugenda.nl/redactie

We have a large team of editors, and it is quite tedious to add a new a author to the system.
First I have create a new user and add it to the appropriate user group to give the new author access to the site
Then I have to go to K2 and assign the K2 usergroup to give him/her access to write articles in K2
Then I have to go to the menu item and add the new user to the list (and remove authors that left, who's account is disabled)
And finally I have to drag the author to the correct alphabetical order.

I would save me a lot of time and keep the author page up to date if I could just create a user in Joomla and assign the user to the correct group. Period.
So my first question is: why does K2 have it's own user group for K2 access?
And second: is there a way (i.e. a plugin) that creates a list of all users of a certain group automatically, sorted alphabetically?

1) I would like to see the permissions set by the Joomla user group, not in a separate K2 user group.
2) So you are suggesting creating an empty article and adding a K2 users module inline to that article?
