Is there a simple way to add a drop down menu to the users list to set/change user private forum groups (as it’s done with standard wp groups and standard bbpress groups) ?
sorry not at the moment, I am planning this for a later release, I found some code the other day that looks promising to clone !
How urgent is your need?
Admin can not set/change groups for users (only super-admin can)… as they can not access users profiles.
Do I have missed something ?
I have not used WPMU, but are you saying that only superadmins can change say bbpress levels.

Thanks for being so fast to give me an answer.
Actually “my admins” can’t use the plugin they can create groups and forums permissions but can’t add any user, kind useless so…
The network is ATM closed to new registration so it’s not so urgent but we need to open it soon.
I’m quite new to WP but I’m a coder and I’ll learn, I’ll try to find a solution by my-self (like an ugly patch waiting your implementation) if you can’t manage this.
I’ll appreciate a hint :).
I plan to work on this next, so hold off your work for a few days whilst I see what I can do 🙂
I’ve just released version 2.0.1 which has bulk user management added.
Let me know what you think.

Hey,
it looks good but it’s not working for site admin.
Network admin can change groups but nothing happens when a site admin changes the user’s group….
I think site admins need a permission for “update_user_meta”.
Reading the code I just discover that this plugin is not compatible with WPMU.
Here the issue :
Let have two sites : A and B. and two private groups on each site :
Site A : group1 Admin, group2 Member
Site B : group1 Member, group2 Admin
The network has two members : Bob and John.
If I go to site B and set John to group1 Member he will have the “group1” setted for all other site in the network. So in this example he will be upgraded to group1 Admin on site A… This is a terrible thing, I do not understand why I didn’t seen that before…
I think it’s because private group informations are stored into the user_meta, I don’t know…
hmm – I have little/no knowledge of WPMU.
I had thought that site admins would be able to change, and because they didn’t have super-admin privileges that change would only happen for their site, so your issue would not occur.
So whilst this all works fine for single site users, for you we need to crack two issues :
1. Get site admins to be able to effect changes for their sites. I presume admin is one site only?
2. get superadmin to say which site they change?
I’ll need some help from you on how WPMU works with users. Is there a single user database, and if so how does it cope with which site or sites they can see?
How do admins get to update just their site
If you can write or point me to some documentation, that would be great.
Ok, I’ll mark this one as resolved for the moment.
In essence from what you are saying my plugin doesn’t work with WPMU (for others reading this that’s the multi-site version of wordpress, if you don’t know what WPMU is, the you haven’t got it as you have to very specifically change some code !).
I’m happy to see if we can make it that way, but would need help from you on WPMU – if you come back we can work on it.

Sorry I had no time to have a eye on this.
I think it’s going to be hard work to make your plugin working with WP multisite…
I’m looking for an alternative…
Anyway thank you very much for being so reactive !
