Access control plugin
-
Hi All,
I am looking at creating a new site using WordPress and would like to know if there is a plugin that could control login permissions for groups and users as per the following:
1. Group 1 can see the following users only
1. user1
1. user2
1. user32. Group 2 can see the following user only
2. user4
2. user5
2. user6…etc, etc.
Basically, I would have multiple groups that has control to their allocated users. When user 1 logs in, he/she can only see his content and the same for user 2 and 3, etc. When a group administrator logs in, he/she can only see users registered to that specific group.
Also, if possible I am also looking at adding attachments for a specific user only by admin groups, if that user log in, he/she will be the only person to view that attachment.. and off course the admin and admin group.
Where can I find such a plug. Free or Premium.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
in reply to your email (I post it here as other WordPress forum readers might be interested too).
Our customer area plugin does most of what you require:
- Users can see private content on a page which is dynamically constructed according to the logged-in user (available in the free base plugin)
- You can create groups and assign private content to user groups (requires the add-on “Extended Permissions“)
The missing features you need and which are not implemented in customer area:
- Having “group administrators”. That should be rather easy to add because user groups are a custom post type, so it is just a matter of adding a post meta. I can update my “extended permissions” add-on to provide this information, no problem.
- Group administrators doing things to “their” users. This would require coding a separate plugin (because I feel this does not belong to a customer area, unless you can explain me the use case more in details). That plugin would simply use the group information provided by the Extended Permissions add-on to restrict access.
