Brian,

I mainly use Members to create custom user roles but I also use it to lock =
down our entire staff intranet.  You can limit globally across the site or =
limit each specific post / page to a specific role or group of roles.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] WordPress plugins for image gallery, access restrictions=
?

One of my member libraries has asked me for suggestions about WordPress mod=
ules to add a couple functions/features:


1.       Image gallery. It looks like most sites use NextGEN Gallery. Is th=
ere another plugin the library should look at instead?

2.       Login-restricted sections or pages that are viewable only by users=
 in a specific group (e.g., Friends Group, Staff, Library Board). From my i=
nitial searching, the Members plugin or User Access Manager plugin seem pro=
mising. Would one of these two do the job better? Are there others worth co=
nsidering?

I haven't worked with WordPress much, so any guidance on these topics would=
 be appreciated.
