Hello, I’m researching buddypress for a small business. I’m curious if the buddypress part of the site and the wordpress part of the site can each have individual log-ins. That way one person is in charge of the site (wordpress), and the other person is in charge of the social networking aspect (buddypress). It’s important the latter can’t change anything with the former). Thank you for your help.

If you want it totally separate, then install first WP at domain root – http://yoursite.com. Create a second WP install at say, a physical subdomain – http://community.yoursite.com/ – using same database but different prefix for tables and install BuddyPress there.
