Giving extra protection to a subset of pages

[simplebob]

Hi
I have a small website for a club. We have a members-only section for paid up members of the club, and for this we use Simple Membership and manually check members against a static list. Only 500 or so members.
I would like to post ‘committee member’ documents and to protect those for a smaller subset of the membership – eg; committee members!
Today I am testing this by creating two membership levels, members and committee, but this means add both to all members pages, but only committee to the protected subset.
So for instance, the members homepage has both members and committee added. But the accounts page only has committee.

Is there a better way of doing this? All committee will already be in the member group so it would be great to somehow support a subgroup. Any neater suggestions?
Thanks

Have you tried applying bulk protection?

P.S. There is another option, but it requires that you witch to our eMember plugin, which is NOT compatible with the SWPM database. Only consider this option if you are willing “to change horses.”

Thanks for the update. Just to be clear, if I switched to emember then I could have multiple memberships pre user?
eg;
member
member, committee
member, committee, audit

Thanks
