We have three sections of our site Alpha/Beta/Gama. Each section needs to have 4 levels of users:

Level 0 user can access “Free” content.
Level 1 user can access everything Level 0 user can access + eBooks (i.e Free + eBooks)
Level 2 user can access everything Level 1 user can access + Audio (i.e Free + eBooks + Audios)
Level 3 user can access everything Level 2 user can access + Videos (i.e Free + eBooks + Audios + Videos)
Level 4 user can access everything Level 3 user can access + PPT (i.e Free + eBooks + Audios + Videos + PPT)

Can S2Member handle this out of the box? Basically we would just need to put these memberships in a category.

This looks like exactly like the out-of-the-box format!
Go for it!

I can’t seem to find any documentation on this categorization though for membership levels. Thank you for your help.

I dont know where the specific documentation is, but that is exactly how it goes.
Level 0 – Free membership
Level 1 – Paid membership and can access Level 1 and Level 0 content
Level 2 – Paid membership and can access Level 2, Level 1 and Level 0 content
Level 3 – Paid membership and can access Level 3, Level 2, Level 1 and Level 0 content
Level 4 – Paid membership and can access Level 4, Level 3, Level 2, Level 1 and Level 0 content

I am pretty sure there is an intro video. I just can’t find it now. Someone will surely point you to it. Just go in your s2Member Quick-Start guide and check there.

But ours would need to be:
ALPHA – -Level 0 – Free membership
ALPHA – Level 1 – Paid membership and can access Level 1 and Level 0 content
ALPHA – – Paid membership and can access Level 2, Level 1 and Level 0 content
ALPHA – Paid membership and can access Level 3, Level 2, Level 1 and Level 0 content
ALPHA – Paid membership and can access Level 4, Level 3, Level 2, Level 1 and Level 0 content

BETA – Level 0 – Free membership
BETA – Paid membership and can access Level 1 and Level 0 content
BETA – Paid membership and can access Level 2, Level 1 and Level 0 content
BETA – Paid membership and can access Level 3, Level 2, Level 1 and Level 0 content
BETA – Paid membership and can access Level 4, Level 3, Level 2, Level 1 and Level 0 content

Is that even possible?

Yes you could. In this case, you would have to add Custom Capabilities. This is an additional “category” that you will decide (you can call them however you want). You can call one ccap “alpha” and one “beta”. So it would go this way:

Member 1 has Level 2, ccap “alpha”; they will see content that is limited to “alpha” in Level 2,Level 1 and Level 0
Member 2 has Level 0, ccap “beta”; they will see content that is limited to “beta” in Level 0 only
Member 3 has Level 1, ccap “beta”; they will see content that is limited to “beta” in Level 1 and Level 0

If, at any point, you need to have one member have access to “alpha” and “beta”, then you can give those members both access.

Watch the video on Custom Capabilities, at the bottom of this page. The ccaps are SOOOOO powerful. I use them on just about everything in my site, whether it is for a course access, workshop, forum, etc.
