 * In one of my projects, I need a possibility to manage members by “kind of” user
   role. Some of the members should get a special status, so that they can enter
   a specific site (normal club members <-> managing club members).
    I want to realize
   a “member site” (entrance to all club members) ans a “board site” (entrance only
   to managing club members). Club members have “subscriber” status, managing club
   members have author or admin status. Is this possible to realise this with WP-
   Members or one of the payed plugins?

 * You only need to do this as a user role if they will have different capabilities(
   such as writing posts or editing users, for example). So that sounds like the
   case here.
 * For applying custom roles, I usually recommend using the plugin “User Role Editor”.
   It’s well established, it allows you to create custom roles with customized capabilities,
   and it works well when used along with WP-Members for access restriction.
 * Hope that helps.
