Access Groups
Location: MediaBlaster → Subscriptions → Access Groups tab
Access groups bundle content for entitlement checks. Tiers link to groups — subscribers on a tier can watch content tagged with any of that tier's groups.
Creating an access group
- Open Access Groups and click Add New.
- Enter Name and optional Description.
- Slug is derived from the name if left empty.
- Save and confirm the success notice.
If save fails silently, subscription database tables may be missing — reload any wp-admin page to trigger automatic repair, then try again.
Linking groups to tiers
Edit a tier under Tiers and assign one or more access groups. A subscriber on that tier receives access to all videos requiring those groups (or the tier itself).
Per-video overrides
On individual posts, the Subscription Access metabox can require a specific access group or tier beyond defaults.
Use cases
| Group | Example |
|---|---|
| Premium catalog | All movies and episodes marked "subscriber" |
| Sports pack | Videos tagged with sports access group |
| Early access | Tier-specific group for pre-release content |
