Title: User Groups Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # User Groups * Resolved [jeezy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/traup/) * (@traup) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/) * I am using a plugin called User Group Management to organize my users into groups. I do have each group linked to their own roles. However my users can belong to multiple groups and this is where my problem lies. Is it possible to do this with this plugin? * I see that user 1 has the role subscriber and I can send an email to the subscriber role and that works great. That same user also belongs to the international group and since in wordpress I can only set 1 primary role this will not work. * Ideas? * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/email-users/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/email-users/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 22 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Mike Walsh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpwalsh8/) * (@mpwalsh8) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/#post-3951771) * I am Sitting on a patch which I need to incorporate that addresses this exact issue (I think). I will try and do it tonight or tomorrow morning. I am delinquent on getting this done, a lot of other issues have taken priority. * Thread Starter [jeezy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/traup/) * (@traup) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/#post-3951796) * [@mike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike/) – very good sir. I look forward to the patch. Excellent plugin btw. * Plugin Author [Mike Walsh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpwalsh8/) * (@mpwalsh8) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/#post-3951801) * Now that it is morning and I am a little more focused, I am re-reading this thread. I am not sure the plugin you’re using is the same as the other plugin I have a patch for. Can you take a look at [this thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/patch-to-make-user-groups-and-email-users-plugins-play-nice-together?replies=1) and let me know if they’re the same plugin? * Thread Starter [jeezy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/traup/) * (@traup) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/#post-3951802) * It is not the same plugin. User Groups doesn’t provide any security or access restriction capabilities. The plugin I am using is [http://wordpress.org/plugins/user-access-manager/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/user-access-manager/) * Plugin Author [Mike Walsh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpwalsh8/) * (@mpwalsh8) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/#post-3951803) * Ok, I will have to take look at that. Work is crazy busy right now so it may be a few days before I can look at this other plugin and see if I have any ideas. * Thread Starter [jeezy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/traup/) * (@traup) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/#post-3951806) * UAM creates two tables, one to hold the group info and then a relational table for the user id and group id. I don’t think it would be to hard to implement a solution to query user email addresses using this data. But I’m not sure about the email-users plugin and how to go about incorporating that. * I would give this a shot at implementing but I don’t want to not miss out on future updates. * Plugin Author [Mike Walsh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpwalsh8/) * (@mpwalsh8) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/#post-3951840) * The best way to do this is probably to create a separate plugin that creates a bridge between the two plugins. That way you don’t miss out on updates to either plugin by forking them. That is what I recommend for people who want to make use of the User Meta filtering functionality that Email Users supports. It has some hooks to facilitate doing it and that is probably what I would look at first to link it to the other plugin. * Thread Starter [jeezy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/traup/) * (@traup) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/#post-3951844) * Thanks Mike, I think I will go this route with using my functions.php file. Your filter is using user meta data but the group plugin has it’s own separate table. I don’t see how this will work using meta data as a user can have multiple group relationships. * If I was to write my own functions that return an array of email address from a desired group, how would I push that array into the email_users plugin for email distribution? * Thread Starter [jeezy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/traup/) * (@traup) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/#post-3951846) * I created a plugin with a separate form with a drop down list of UAM groups along with a subject/message. I then passed that collected data through a function that generates an array of emails from that selected group to the Email Users plugin function called mailusers_send_mail(). * Everything seems to be working. * Plugin Author [Mike Walsh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpwalsh8/) * (@mpwalsh8) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/#post-3951848) * If you want to send it to me (use my WordPress.org username at gmail dot com) I will look at including it in the next update. There are a number of similar“ User Group” plugins so making some optional functionality for sites that have them installed would be useful. * Thread Starter [jeezy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/traup/) * (@traup) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/#post-3951849) * It’s on the way. Take it as a proof of concept plugin, not too much extra flare or validation built into it. * Plugin Author [Mike Walsh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpwalsh8/) * (@mpwalsh8) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/#post-3951881) * I have added an integration of UAM to Email-Users. If you’d like to check it out, you can try it in the [v4.5.0-beta release](http://michaelwalsh.org/blog/2013/08/01/email-users-v4-5-0-beta-1-now-available/) I posed on my web site today. * Thread Starter [jeezy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/traup/) * (@traup) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/#post-3951882) * broken link to your blog * Plugin Author [Mike Walsh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpwalsh8/) * (@mpwalsh8) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-groups-1/#post-3951883) * Hmm – works when I click on it.
