How do you use this module? After installing it with the other required modules, there is no provision anywhere to set permissions or configure the module, and even less to use it! Am I missing something? Thanks.

The module is not complete. As such, the intended functionality is not in place.

I tried that way to build a group some weeks/ month ago and it's possible with some configuration...

1) Groups are nodes
2) User referenced to the group as "members"
3) content referenced to a group (and so members get access, non-members not)

My problems were
1) hide the groups (like "private" google plus circles)
-> I made it unaccessible with rules by forward to an error page (content not exists or access denied for example)
2) duplicate group names (more than one user could use "family" or "friends" group
3) public content if NO group is specified!

It works fine so far with autocomplete widget during my tests but it was no really usable/ maintainable solution (without a module around it).

@cweagans
What do you think how long it may take until a first useable dev could be released? I plan a group based page and at the moment I try to build it with og 7.2 (now I found your module and it sounds like a good alternative ;) )

This module should (hopefully) solve some of that. The idea is that the group membership and access control will be built around nodeaccess_userreference and nodeacess_nodereference. It's a pretty simple system, but I want to put a nicer, more unified UI on top of it, as well as provide some of the features that you were talking about (hidden groups, etc.)

I'm going to take a stab at this while I'm at Drupalcon in a couple of weeks, but until then, I have next to no time to put towards this project.

I used (I think that was the module...) Autocomplete Deluxe for References and it works fine so far! Simple way to get an nice autocomplete widget to reference groups to a piece of content.

Also nice could be to reference groups AND users to a content node...

Maybe a integration with the sandbox project Social Circle from tush@r's is possible? I don't know, but a google+ like circle ui with your group module ... ;)
