Automatically add consumer organization created by devportal user login to consumer organization group

Today we are running APIC 10.0.8.1 on CP4I 16.1.0 on Openshift 4.14

Summary: When a new user logs in to developer portal for the first time via LDAP, a consumer organization is created by the name of the user. By default the product has visibility to set to custom (consumer org group called tine_devs). The new user wont be able to view any products. So we need a feature that adds new user's consumer org (check the newly created consumer org based on email id to distinguish external email IDs from internal email IDs) to consumer org group. We feel this should be a feature that is missing today especially since we do not want everyone to have blanket access to all products on devportal.

Details: Also, we didn't want to use consumer orgs or consumer org groups in the first place, the requirement is that we have 3 types of devportal users, internal to company, external partner and public users on internet. We do not want to allow external partner and public users visibility to all products even after authentication. The external partner should have access to a specific list of products which is where the custom visiblity feature of the product comes in. If we allow any authenticated user on the product, then thats solves the problem for all internal users, but then the external users would see those plus the products only they should see. Public users would see only public api products that are also visible to internal and partner users.

A workaround: We could try to find a Drupal developer to tune into a Developer portal hook [hook_consumerorg_create] and then use the apictoolkit api to add the consumer org to consumer org group (add the user based on if the user has an external or internal email ID), but it requires some amount of knowledge and effort - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/api-connect/10.0.x?topic=extend-custom-module-development-using-hooks

Implication: The lack of this feature is blocking full adoption of the developer portal (as in exposing to users over the internet) and we are not very comfortable in creating a custom module that uses the hook and then use the apictoolkit api.
