    I have played around a little with this plugin and it’s really competent, espacially with some extra plugins.
    I do how ever wonder about this scenario; Let’s say you have a page that only the company “ABC” can see. Then i create an ABC group, takes my page and sets the permissions to ABC. Then i create an admin for ABC and tells him “hey, i’ve created a page with info for you guys. Now add your staff to let them see this info” and then gives this guy permissions to create ABC-users that can see the info i’ve restricted to ABC.
    Is this possible? It could be a terrible security risk to let other people create accounts, but as long as they only can give the users this really low permissions it should be ok? Tips, tricks and hints would be awesome.

    Hi LinusOnTheLine,

    First, i would create a new user, the ABC Group admin, with an author or editor role. I would add the user to a Group named New_users with capabilities to create_users, list_users but not edit_users because then the ABC Group admin would have the capability to edit the site administrator as well.
    Last, i would give the Permission to Administer and Access Groups to the role of the ABC Group admin in Groups>Options.
    The rest i think is pretty straight forward.

    Kind regards,
    George
