Create a Store for the Exclusive Use of One Advertiser?

[allcompu]

Our vBulletin is setup with a merchant usergroup to whom we sell a paid subscription. We would like to offer our merchant subscribers the opportunity to purchase an enhanced subscription whereby we would setup a classifieds category for their sole use.

Is this as simple as just setting up the permissions for the enhanced subscription and then setting up the permissions for sole ad placing capability in a classified category set up for the merchant ... or are there any other issues I will also need to address?

As long as you create that category and assign permissions accordingly thats fine but would that not require a usergroup for every user if your trying to make the category just for that user right?

Yes, pretty much, unless we could handle access by assigning the merchant as a unique moderator to each store. Either way, we plan to be reasonably well paid or it isn't worth doing. One concern is that I would like the store access to terminate if the merchant lets his subscription expire.

well I do beleive if we are strickly talking usergroup permissions here that in vb subscriptions when the subscription expires the user is dropped back into there prior group.
