# Subgroups?

 * Hello,
 * just started using your plugin for my site where I’ll be managing about 200 users
   per year (each year 150-200 new ones will be added) and I was wondering if it
   is possible to assign subgroups?
 * For example: I have the group ‘users’ with all the read permissions where they
   should be. Now I want all of the 2013 users differentiated from the 2012 ones
   and the coming 2014 ones. So my first idea would be a sub-group of ‘users’ called‘
   2013’ and just put them there while they inherit all the permissions of the group
   above them.
 * I haven’t been able to find out if this is available in either the free or the
   pro version. If it’s a pro-only feature I would gladly purchase it.
 * Thanks!

 * No, subgroups are not supported. You can accomplish the same result through multiple
   group memberships.

 * Put me down on the list as a Pro Version user requesting Sub-Groupings (Nested)
   so that Members of a Child Group would also belong to a Parent Group.
 * Handling it without nesting is not horrible if you only have a limited number
   of groupings, but once you get into segregating many sub-groups, having this 
   ability would make the assignment of Posts to Groups more efficient and secure.
 * Thank you!

 * I also bought the plugin in the mean-time to configure editing permissions and
   I really like it!
 * Websherpa is right, once you get many users, sub-grouping would be much handier.
   Right now I just create duplicate groups with the year attached to it, so I know
   what year they started using the site, but my guess it that this gets really 
   confusing some more years in.
