Overview

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)
