Adding and displaying items based on author usergroup

H, I run a commmunity website based on Community Bulder

I need my users to be able to post their own content items based on their joomla usergroup
Then I will need to display those items only based on the author group, so if the author changes group (in my case: the membership expires) the items will get unpublishd, or anyway the won't be listed

Is this possible with Flexycontent?

Hello

the items display using 3 criteria
- their access level (note with FC category access level and type access level are also need for display e.g. some item types maybe have special access level)
- their publication state (published/unpublished/etc)
- their expiration date  (we have a plugin to change state to unpib)

What you ask for is not implemented,
- the usergroup of the user is not considered

To do what you suggest a plugin would be need
that will monitor changes of author's usergroup and auto change the state of items to unpublished or maybe change them their expiration date to the past

i am not sure if there are such Joomla membership components that will do the above, possibly some of them support this

Thanks for your answer
I guess in your other answer here you were considering visibility for the item authors themselves, right?:

While in this thread I was probably more clear about my need, wich is abot global visibility of items to all users.
In case I don't find a different plugin, would it be possible to implement this feature in Flext COntent as a paid service?

Thanks

Hello

yes we can do this as a custom paid plugin
to unpublish the items when usergroups changes
and also possibly set a workflow statusfor the item

so that  if the user is re-added to the usergroup then the items that have this workflow status are auto-published
