Turn your site into a powerful membership solution. Manage members, teams and access to content easily.
The Groups plugin for WordPress is an essential tool that helps you organize users on your website. Think of it like sorting people into different clubs or teams, where each club has its own set of rules about who can access and do what.
This plugin is very useful if you want to control who can see certain content or perform specific actions on your website. It helps you to keep some parts of your website exclusive to specific groups or to give special rights to some users.
Groups works great with WooCommerce, so you can make some products only available to members of certain groups.
It allows you to create groups, assign users to these groups, and set permissions for what each group can do or see on your site.
The Groups plugin works within the familiar WordPress Dashboard, so you do not need to learn something completely new. Clean views and clear functions make it quick and easy to work with.
You can make parts of your website visible to members of specific groups only, which is great for managing exclusive areas and products. You can protect whole pages, products and other types of content. You can also protect sections within pages.
Define what actions users in particular groups can perform, based on standard WordPress capabilities and custom capabilities provided by plugins.
The Groups plugin makes managing your WordPress site easier, especially if you need to control who can do what or see what. It is designed to be easy to use, reducing the complexity of user management and content access.
Groups integrates with WooCommerce to protect access to products, so that certain products can be purchased by members only.
Enhanced functionality is available via the WooCommerce Marketplace and Extensions for Groups.
You can put users into different groups, similar to assigning them to different classes or teams.
You can decide that only specific groups can see certain content, posts, pages or products. If you are not in the right group, you will not see that protected content.
You can assign special rights to users based on which group they are a member of.
Groups is designed as an efficient, powerful and flexible solution for group-oriented memberships and content access control.
It provides group-based user membership management, group-based capabilities and access control for content, built on solid principles.
Groups is light-weight and offers an easy user interface, while it acts as a framework and integrates standard WordPress capabilities and application-specific capabilities along with an extensive API.
The official documentation is located at the Groups Documentation pages.
Your support matters!
By getting an official extension or contributing, you help fund the work that is necessary to maintain and improve Groups.
Groups is powerful and effective, yet simple and easy to use. While its flexibility covers a wide range of functions, some of the most commonly used aspects include:
Access to posts, pages and custom post types can be restricted by group.
If access to a post is restricted to one or more groups, only users who belong to one of those groups may view the post.
Fully supports custom post types, so that access to post types such as products or events can easily be restricted.
Enhanced functionality is available via official Extensions for Groups.
Groups is a large project that is providing essential functionality to tens of thousands of sites since 2012. By getting an official extension, you help fund the work that is necessary to maintain and improve Groups.

Let's assume you want members of the Premium group to be able to view some restricted posts.
In both cases, it doesn't matter if the Premium group already exists or not, if it doesn't, it will be created automatically.
If the Premium group already exists and you want to protect one or more existing posts in bulk, go to Posts, select all posts you want to protect and choose Edit in the Bulk Actions dropdown. Now click Apply, select the Premium group and click Update.
After you publish or update your posts, only members of the Premium group will be able to see them.
Example: Advanced and Premium members
Example: Green and Red members
