User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate this plugin for its effective control over document access and group management capabilities, making it easy to separate content based on user roles. They find it straightforward to use and compatible with other plugins like Woocommerce, which helps in granting access to specific materials and managing complex group authorization scenarios. Many users highlight its seamless integration, reliability, and added security. However, some drawbacks include occasional coding errors, a less intuitive user interface, and frequent prompts to rate the plugin. Users also desire additional features like editable group slugs and improved 404 redirection handling. Despite these minor issues, the plugin is well-regarded for its functionality and ease of use.

I use it in conjunction with pods to store actual group information, as there appears to be no way to edit the name or description once created. With some custom coding I let people create dnd campaign groups and other users can join or leave the group!
