Access control plugin

  • Hi All,

    I am looking at creating a new site using WordPress and would like to know if there is a plugin that could control login permissions for groups and users as per the following:

    1. Group 1 can see the following users only
    1. user1
    1. user2
    1. user3

    2. Group 2 can see the following user only
    2. user4
    2. user5
    2. user6

    …etc, etc.

    Basically, I would have multiple groups that has control to their allocated users. When user 1 logs in, he/she can only see his content and the same for user 2 and 3, etc. When a group administrator logs in, he/she can only see users registered to that specific group.

    Also, if possible I am also looking at adding attachments for a specific user only by admin groups, if that user log in, he/she will be the only person to view that attachment.. and off course the admin and admin group.

    Where can I find such a plug. Free or Premium.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hi,

    in reply to your email (I post it here as other WordPress forum readers might be interested too).

    Our customer area plugin does most of what you require:

    • Users can see private content on a page which is dynamically constructed according to the logged-in user (available in the free base plugin)
    • You can create groups and assign private content to user groups (requires the add-on “Extended Permissions“)

    The missing features you need and which are not implemented in customer area:

    • Having “group administrators”. That should be rather easy to add because user groups are a custom post type, so it is just a matter of adding a post meta. I can update my “extended permissions” add-on to provide this information, no problem.
    • Group administrators doing things to “their” users. This would require coding a separate plugin (because I feel this does not belong to a customer area, unless you can explain me the use case more in details). That plugin would simply use the group information provided by the Extended Permissions add-on to restrict access.
