<h3>What is Groups?</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Why use it?</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Groups works great with WooCommerce, so you can make some products only available to members of certain groups.</p>
<h3>What it Does</h3>
<p>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.</p>
