specific page access for specific users

Hello again,
Another question...
Is it possible to grant specific users access to specific pages, even of those pages are not included in their membership?

For example, user 12 is a vendor who is represented by my mom. Vendors as a group are only allowed to view pages 23, 45, and 67. But, User 12 will also want to see the page that describes their line, which the Customer group is allowed to see (she doesn't want vendors to be able to see what other lines she represents). Could user 12 be given access to page 34 (their line's page) only? User 13 would be able to see page 36, but not page 34.

I hope that makes sense, and I hope it's possible with this plugin! Please let me know!
Thank you!

Hi. Yes, this is possible, but you'll need to use Custom Capabilities.
Custom Capabilities can be applied on a Member-specific basis, or for a group of Members. You can either package Custom Capabilities into your PayPal Buttons, or you can apply them to each Member account individually.

The trick is knowing how to utilize the Custom Capabilities after you've awarded them. For further information, please read the section in your Dashboard, under:
s2Member -> API Scripting -> Custom Capabilities
