User Groups Fieldtype

Pro Feature

Use this fieldtype to create a relationship with User Groups.

User Groups Fieldtype UI
The User Groups Fieldtype in action!

Overview

The User Group fieldtype gives your users a way to pick one or more User Groups to attach to the current entry. What you do with that relationship is up to you, but most likely you'll be either listing users or combining it with the User:In tag to protect content or areas of the frontend.

Data Storage

The User Group fieldtype stores the handle of a single group as a string, or an array of handles if max_items is greater than 1.

Templating

The User Group fieldtype uses augmentation to return the title and handle of each Group. You can use pass these values into the {{ user:in }} tag to protect content.

The following example assumes max_items has been set to 1.

{{ user:in :group="group_field:handle" }}
You are in the {{ group_field:title }} group. Nice!
{{ /user:in }}
{{-- Using Statamic Tags --}}
<statamic:user:in
:group="$group_field->handle"
>
You are in the {{ $group_field->title }} group. Nice!
</statamic:user:in>
 
{{-- Using Fluent Tags --}}
@if(Statamic::tag('user:in')->group($group_field->handle)->fetch())
You are in the {{ $group_field->title }} group. Nice!
@endif
