What Is Restrict Content Pro Group Accounts?
Restrict Content Pro Group Accounts is developed by Restrict Content Pro and is a membership plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the membership category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for content restriction and subscription management.
The plugin solves the problem of individual billing for large organizations by centralizing payment and account control under a group owner. It is built for teachers, corporate managers, and team leaders who need to grant access to multiple users without requiring each individual to maintain their own billing profile.
Restrict Content Pro Group Accounts Features
The feature set is built around providing a centralized management dashboard for group owners while maintaining strict seat counts through membership levels.
Group Management and Seats
Group Accounts allows administrators to create unlimited groups with specific per-membership level settings. You can implement maximum seats control to set the exact number of members each group may have, ensuring users pay for the capacity they use. These limits are tied to the membership tiers within the core plugin.
Owner Dashboard and Importing
Group owners receive a complete dashboard for updating settings and managing participants without accessing the WordPress admin area. Owners can add or remove members manually or utilize a CSV import for group members to handle high-volume registrations quickly. The dashboard also includes email invitations for new group members to join the site.
Billing and Gateways
The extension supports all payment gateways integrated with the core system, including Stripe and PayPal. It facilitates upgrading and downgrading group accounts to control seat counts during a billing cycle. This ensures group members never need to enter payment details, as billing control is limited strictly to the primary owner.
Pricing
Check current pricing on the Group Accounts sales page. WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan, which includes over 2,500 other premium GPL items.

Use Cases
Educational and Classroom Settings
A school teacher can register a group account for an entire class and add each student as a member. This grants students access to members-only content and learning resources in the membership ecosystem without requiring student billing.
Corporate Training and Licensing
Companies can purchase a bulk license for their staff through a single corporate account. Managers can then import employees via CSV, ensuring the business retains control over the seats while simplifying the renewal process for the accounting department.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Agencies can use Group Accounts to provide premium content access to their clients as a value-add service. A WPExclusive membership allows agencies to deploy this functionality across multiple client projects without stacking individual license costs.
