Make a CCK nodetype into a Organic Group

I've read in several articles about turning a CCK node(type?) into an Organic Group, so that you can restrict access to nodes to its subscribers but I cannot figure out how to do this.
The setup I have in mind is:
Nodetype: project
1. select organic group(s) that can view the project(s)right after I create them (for example the usegroup "workers")
2. Assign the project to a specific user within that group, only this users (a worker) can view the node now
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great!
I am not exactly sure if
I am not exactly sure if this can be done exactly how you need it, but here goes.
First I would create the content type 'project' then go to OG config and select 'project' under group home page. This makes each node in 'project' its own group.
If you only have one user role you can use 'OG Join role' (seperate module) to allow a role to join the groups while all others are denied.
You can also set the user role you want to manage groups to 'create project type' this allows users in that role to create the project group. This also sets the user as the creator giving them group admin rights.
Hope this helps
