 * Hi there. I’ve used WordPress a fair bit but am fairly new to the MS version.
   I’m wanting to setup a network (which i’ve done) but then only allow certain 
   sites to have access to plugins. Is there way to install a plugin and then choose
   which of your sites can use it, or do you have to install the plugins manually
   on each site that you want to use them?
 * I hope that makes sense, thanks!

 * Not really. Plugins are, generally, available to all sites (they’re not ACTIVE
   on all unless they’re in mu-plugins or network activated).
 * I think this plugin may help you sort out what you want: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/plugin-commander/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/plugin-commander/)
