How to give access to a page to certain users. (No User Roles)

    I am working on a website for an intranet for a High School in which I am looking forward to give access to Subject Pages to certain users (Students) that are taking that class on a certain term.

    Using User Roles won’t do the work because of the different “combinations” of subjects and students that derivate from the what subjects each student would like to take on each term.

    I am running BuddyPress and bbPress for the interaction between users but I’m still missing a way to give UserA for example, access to the SubjectA, B and D pages regardless of its user role.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.
    Alberto

    Why not use roles, you can create new roles and give them the capabilities you want. Here is a good tutorial:

    Thanks for the help kessie, that could work but I was looking for a way to do this a little simpler. I recall that Drupal let you select the pages that any given user might see and which pages can’t and I am looking for something like that but I haven’t found any plugin or code that would make that any easier than the tutorial you pointed.

    Thanks again, I’m gonna keep looking.

    Update: I found this plugin: User Access Manager.

    It kinda do the work using roles, I had to create a separate role for each user so I can select which pages each user can access. It’s not a big deal since I will have like 30 users so I can do the work.

    I’m going to keep looking for a neater solution.
