Description

WP User Groups allows users to be categorized using custom taxonomies & terms.

  • “Groups” & “Types” are created by default, and can be overridden
  • More user group types can be registered with custom arguments
  • Edit users and set their relationships
  • Bulk edit many users to quickly assign several at once
  • Filter the users list to see which users are in what groups
  • Not destructive data storage (plugin can be enabled & disabled without damage)
  • Works great with all WP User & Term plugins (see below)

Solid foundation for development

This plugin is tremendously solid. Used it to build a complex system of content teams who could only create or edit content within their own team. WP User Groups handled the "teams" of users which corresponded with taxonomy terms associated with the content. Works like a charm. Plugin itself is lightweight and simple to grasp.

Very well-executed

I've been using this for a fairly complex WP build and I've been very impressed. The back-end is easy for users and there's a nice API for devs. Two thumbs up.

Very useful

When you need to group your many users beyond just their role, this is the pluging. Works very well, properly coded.
