 * Hello Everybody !!
 * I would like you to help to realise the connection between 3 groups of users 
   with 3 separate forums. Each user type can connect to a specific forum but cannot
   see or connect to the others.
 * I am on a single WP 3.5 and BuddyPress obviously.
 * So here are the steps.
 * 1/
 * I have created 3 forums :
 * Conseil d’Administration
 * Délégués
 * Adhérents
 * 2/ I have installed the plugin called Members and created 3 custom
    roles which
   have the same names.
 * Here are the features of the roles created :
 * delete_replies
    edit_replies participate spectate
 * So, a member with the role ‘adherent’ should only access to the Forum ‘Adhérent’
   
   a member with the role ‘delegue’ should only access to the Forum ‘Délégués’, 
   etc.
 * This logic would occur for all the given roles & group.
    By accessing to a specific
   forum, the user should only be capable to :
 * see topics
    create a topic submit attached files edit and cancel their own post
   but not the one of others !
 * in their specific forum but not in the other forums.
 * THE PROBLEM IS THAT ALL USERS CAN SEE TOPICS AND CREATE TOPICS IN THE OTHER FORUMS!
 * Besides, the client would appreciate that only the specific forum linked to his
   identification username / pswd would appear at login and do not see the 2 others
   ones.
 * 3/ Then I edited the forum access with the following options :
 * Status : Open
    Visibility : Private
 * Here is the link and the admin access :
    [http://www.photographes-france.net/forums](http://www.photographes-france.net/forums)
 * I would like to know how it is possible to create a single user from
    the Buddypress
   forum and not WP ?
 * I hope to have been really precise.
 * CAN SOMEONE HELP ME ?
 * Regards,
 * A.Rizzotti
