Not sure this is the right section to post in. This one seemed most appropriate.

I have a client who wants a website where people can subscribe to a group. Its a paid subscription, and there are several advantages, like a discount on services and such. All groups are regional, with the group comes real life meetings for networking and such.

The groups need to be exclusive.

Selected content of the groups need to be visible to an anonymous visitor. The groups themselves are visible too.

But on registration the

Organic groups seemed to me the best module with a lot of the functionality asked for (groups specific posts, events, newsletter).

But i don't see any way to make the groups exclusive, whihc means ithat f you're member of one group, you cant become a member of another.

I also checked taxonomy (especially Taxonomy Access Control, Taxonomy Role, Taxonomy Access Control Lite), but in there you need to assign a role and access for each user seperately.

Am i overlooking something? Does anyone have a useful hint? Is this custom module territory? Or hacking OG?

How many groups are you looking at having eventually? Roles could be a solution if there are only a few otherwise OG is your best bet.

Potentially there could be hundreds of groups. Starting out with around 15. So yeah, roles are not really an option.

The only other small bit i found was on http://drupal.org/node/204554

you can add a validator to the subscribe confirm form. use a custom module

So thats probably my only option.
