Description
Group Your Users
- Add descriptions to user groups
- Assign colors to user groups
- View all users in a group
- Add users to more than one group at a time
The User Groups plugin does not modify user capabilities, limit access, or anything like that. This plugin does one thing, and does it well: create groups and organize your users by that group.
Works beautifully with the Rich Text Tags plugin for adding WYSIWYG descriptions to the User Groups.
Screenshots
The User Groups screen is just like the Categories screen, but with a color selector! 
View all users in a group, as well as the group description

FAQ

I installed it according to instructions.
It reports that there are no groups (yet?).
It will not let me use any of it’s functions because I am “not authorized”.
No easy to find instructions provided for authorizing the first (admin) user…
Oh well…
