 * Is it possible to assign different user groups at the subscriber level? For example,
   if we want to have a user group for dealers and another one for employees, can
   they all be set up as subscribers without them having access to both user groups?
   We’d like to separate them but maintain their user status as a subscriber. I 
   didn’t see any way to separate the 2 user groups when adding a new subscriber
   user. Both user groups are automatically being assigned. When I go to edit a 
   user, I am seeing dimmed out check boxes next to the “Setup User Groups” option
   with both boxes for the 2 user groups we’ve set up being checked and unable to
   be unchecked. Am I missing something in the settings? Thanks.

 * Were you able to pinpoint this issue Studio544?
 * Same issue here — for both existing users and new users. I have two groups for
   subscribers. Group1 to see content1, and Group2 to see content2. But all of my
   subscriber users are in both groups, and though I can see the checkboxes on their
   profiles they are greyed out and uncheckable.

 * Sorry. No luck on this end as I never heard back from the developer and the project
   I was working on with this particular plugin never materialized so I did not 
   end up needing to use the plugin.

 * I think I resolved this issue by updating my groups to *NOT* have a role affiliation.
   I built just Group 1, Group 2, etc – and did not set them as “subscribers” — 
   no I can adjust each individual user. Tying the group to “subscriber” seemed 
   to apply the group to ALL subscribers. Makes sense in my head now

 * Ok, thanks for letting me know. I’ll keep it in mind for future projects.
