Membership Types

[Jason Meltzer]

I am interested in having different types of members on my network. Is this possible to create with access to the source code? Anyone have any tips on the possibility of this functionality?

Thanks!

What if these different kinds of members have distinct permissions?
For instance, some members is not able to create a new topic in the forum but some are..

OK i'm not sure where to start with the words - add attribute - to the - user object - but i'm sure i'll find something if i go looking around ... will there be a tutorial for this? I think there will be a lot of people wanting control over what different user types will see.

I just want to be able to restrict "spectators" from being able to do anything at all on my site - I just want "spectators" to fuel the interest and spread the word, but I don't want them to contact anyone.
Later i'd like to set different usability levels for at least 3 different types of user.

High levels can contact everyone and make additions to forums and groups - mid level can only contact mid people and reply to forums - and low level can just read content and not contact anyone in higher levels.

How complex is this to do ???
