  One option is to do it with profiles. You can automatically add contacts to a specific group when they are entered via profile. Create two different profiles for your two groups, and have your users enter all contacts through their own profile page in Profile-Create mode. However, if you find yourself needing to create a unique profile for *every* user, then it's time to re-assess the need. An extension would be better at that point.

  You can create smart groups for this:
  
  * Go into **Search > Advanced Search** and then open the **Change Log** pane.
  * Select the **Added** option and enter the first user's sort name (yes, this ought to be improved) like "Smith, John".
  * Run the search, and you should see the contacts he or she has created. (Adjust the search if you need.)
  * At the top of the results, select **All \_\_ results** and then select **New Smart Group** in the Actions drop-down.
  * Give your new group a name and save it.
  
  Now, everyone that person creates will be added to that group. Repeat this process for each of the users/groups you've got.
