 * Hello,
 * I have a question regarding content restriction. I have a pretty complex user
   structure with many different membership groups.
    Is it possible to restrict 
   the content in an exclusive manner rather than inclusive manner ? As an example,
   when content is restricted to the groups “Premium” and “North America” I would
   like for only users who belong to both groups to see it, not either group. So
   only the users who are in the intersection of the two groups would have access
   to that content.
 * Hope that is clear enough.
 * Also, is it possible to restrict access to files (including their direct URL)
   via your plugin ? And restrict them from appearing on the front end in a file
   gallery for given groups ?
 * Thanks !

 * I’m afraid this is not possible. I consulted this with developer if there is 
   anyway around, but there is not. I’m sorry.

 * It is possible to protect media, but not direct URLs (if someone already knoe
   direct url, they can always omit the protection).
    In add-ons there is “Media
   Protection – Protect Images and other Media-Library content.” that protects media.
 * If you are using the shortcode [gallery] you can also protect it with the “Shortcode
   Protection” add-on.
 * Let us know if you have more questions.
 * kind regards,
    Kasia
