Groupify support unique groups scoped to user?

[lstone]

Can I use groupify to create user owned groups that are only accessible to the owners? For example, a Facebook user can create a user group and assign friends to that group, but others cannot see this group. Is this easily done with Groupify?

Please explain - an example would be fantastic, time permitting.

I suppose you can use membership types to add one user to the group as "owner" and the others as "friends". You can then use authorization rules so that only the owner can view the group.

# Set up the group
group=Group.create!
group.add(owner, as: 'owner')
group.add(owner.friends, as: 'friend')

# Retrieve the group
group = owner.groups.as('owner')
friends = group.users.as('friend')

# Restrict access
current_user.in_group?(group, as: 'owner')

Thank you very much!
