Or why not just assign certain Users to certain Groups? That seems like a much more clean and simple way of handling the problem. You'd be able to easily filter either set of users, and it would require very little custom code. Plus, doing something like assigning negative IDs disguises what you're actually trying to accomplish, whereas auto-assigning certain users, to, say, a group called "Service Accounts", is perfectly clear to anyone looking at the code.
