Pre sales support

Hi
I need some help.
The groups plugin seems to do the job of complex hierarchy structure, but I am lost with the documentation in terms of how to use it.
It may be that the free version cannot do what I need, documentation says:
To view and use the Groups box, you need to have the permission to Access Groups and to Restrict Access.

What does this mean? I have looked for these two terms using your search facility, and there is no direct match.
Is this referring to add-on plugins, and if so, which ones?

My requirements are :
1 To have users assigned to a group, either at the back end, or via a front end assignment
2 to have a forum which is owned by a group, which in turn has access permissions set by users for that group
3 To have other posts or pages owned by a group
4 Optimally to work with the set of only those users who belong to a group and its subgroups. This is something I can get programmed if ITTHINX has no desire to do.

The first three are basic to hierarchical group requirements.
For me to use it though, I will need some step by step instructions.

Currently when I look at a post or page in the backend, I can see the group option at the top right (though it says “You cannot set any access restrictions.”)
I want to have the ability to associate people with groups at the front end as well.
Frankly I found the documentation confusing.

Please help.
thanks
Phil

    Hi Philip,
    please check if your admin role has the Restrict Access selected.

    Hi Philip,
    This sentence is referring to what you need to set the permissions to your user role.
    From Groups->Options you can check if your user’s role has the correct Groups permissions.
    If you need to join users to groups from the frontend, you can use the [groups_join] shortcode. From the backend, you can do it from the Users section (remember that you need to have the correct Groups permissions).
    Kind Regards,
    Antonio B.
