Assigning catagories to members in Buddypress

CMS & WordPress
1

I want to assign catagories to sitemembers when they join and use this to give different rights to different types of members (ie some members can send pms others can’t, some come up on searches etc…) . I imagine it should be possible to do this , but can’t see how to go about it.

if anyone has done this and can give me some pointers it’d be greatly apreciated.

Thanks

I haven’t worked with BuddyPress yet but you might be able to do the above using the Role Manager plugin: http://www.im-web-gefunden.de/wordpress-plugins/role-manager/ or some other capabilities plugin:
