 * 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](http://wordpress.org/plugins/customer-area/) 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](http://www.marvinlabs.com/shop)“)
 * 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.
