As of CiviCRM 1.9, a module is included in the CiviCRM distributions which synchronizes members of Drupal Organic Group(s) with corresponding CiviCRM Group(s). The module name is CiviCRM OG Sync (civicrm/drupal/civicrm_og_synch.module in your CiviCRM installation).

Note: If you are using CiviCRM v 2.x, you will have to rename civicrm/drupal/civicrm_og_synch.info.txt to civicrm_og_synch.info

Currently, the synchronization is "one-way" - FROM Organic Groups TO CiviCRM Groups. Once the module is enabled via Drupal Administer » Modules - it will automatically create 2 CiviCRM groups for existing each Organic Group:

• A "normal" group containing a contact record for each corresponding Organic Group user member. This group is assigned the same name as the linked Organic Group. (The linking is by convention - e.g. they fact that they have the same name IS the link.)

• An "ACL" group containing the contact record of the "administrator" of the corresponding Organic Group. This gives the OG group admin the ability to view and edit members of "their" group in CiviCRM.

When a new user is added / signs up for an Organic Group, they are automatically added to the corresponding CiviCRM Group.
