    Hi,

    I would like to have some informations on your plugin.

    I want to create two different and separate groups: Group 1 and Group 2.
    Inside these groups, I want to add users with different roles :

    • admins : create/edit/delete posts ; add/edit/delete users ;
    • authors : create/edit/delete posts
    • subscribers

    Group 1 and Group 2 are really independent and cannot interfere with each other.

    I created one ‘special’ admin role for group 1 and one ‘special’ admin role for group 2 with Publishpress. For authors and subscribers I used wordpress native roles.

    I would like that users in group 1 only access to datas of group 1 on the website but as well in administration wordpress interface (for admins) and the same principle for group 2 only accessing datas of group 2.

    The functionnalities that I can do with each roles must impact only the group he belongs to.

    Is that possible with your plugin ?

    Thanks for your help.

  • Hi there,

    Thanks for sharing the details on your request.

    What you are looking for is not covered by Groups plugin because additional restrictions are required that will prevent members of the first group from accessing modifying data from the second group and vice versa.

    Specifically the tricky part here has to do with admins, because once they have permission to edit other’s posts and users, this will apply to all users site-wide and not only their own group members. These capabilities cannot be restricted to one group only, at least at the moment with the current version of Groups.

    However, the idea behind this is an interesting use-case that we will definitely take into consideration for future updates of Groups or even better, a premium version of the plugin.

    Kind regards,

    George

    Although this cannot be done with Groups yet, it’s great to see that there is more interest in those types of access control. Noted and will take this into consideration for further enhancements.
