User Groups Plugin
Group Your Users
Group Your Users
- Add descriptions to user groups
- Assign colors to user groups
- View all users in a group
- Add users to more than one group at a time
The User Groups plugin does not modify user capabilities, limit access, or anything like that. This plugin does one thing, and does it well: create groups and organize your users by that group.
Works beautifully with the Rich Text Tags plugin for adding WYSIWYG descriptions to the User Groups.
Installation
- Upload the User Groups plugin folder to the
/wp-content/plugins/
directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Create User Groups by going to Users > Groups
- Add users to an User Group by visiting their profile page and selecting checkboxes of the groups you’d like to add them to
