Where is the documentation?

Most of the features are currently documented at the Groups plugin page.

The official Groups documentation root is at the Groups Documentation page. The documentation is a work in progress, if you don't find anything there yet but want to know about the API, please look at the code as it provides useful documentation on all functions.

I have a question, where do I ask?

You can leave a comment at the Groups plugin page.

I want Advanced and Premium members, where the Premium members can access everything that Advanced members can access. How can I do that?

Example: Advanced and Premium members

1. Go to Groups > Capabilities and define two new capabilities, let's call them advanced and premium.
2. Go to Groups > Groups and define two new groups, let's call them Advanced Members and Premium Members - select Advanced Members as the Parent for the Premium Members group.
3. Assign the advanced capability to the Advanced Members group and the premium capability to the Premium Members group.
4. Go to Groups > Options and tick the checkboxes for advanced and premium under Access restrictions and hit the Save button at the end of the page.
5. Now create an example post that only members of the Advanced Members group should be able to see and tick the advanced checkbox under Access restrictions.
6. Create another post for Premium Members and tick the premium checkbox for that post.
7. Assign test users to both groups, log in as each user in turn and see which posts will be accessible.

How do I limit access to posts so that users in group A can not read the same as those in group B and vice-versa?

Example: Green and Red members

1. Go to Groups > Capabilities and define two new capabilities, call them green and red.
2. Go to Groups > Groups and define two new groups, let's call them Green Members and Red Members
3. Assign the green capability to the Green Members group and the red capability to the Red Members group.
4. Go to Groups > Options and tick the checkboxes for green and red under Access restrictions and hit the Save button at the end of the page.
5. Now create an example post that only members of the Green Members group should be able to see and tick the green checkbox under Access restrictions.
6. Create another post for Red Members and tick the red checkbox for that post.
7. Assign a test user to any of the above groups, log in as that user and the post will be accessible.
