BuddyPress.org

Hello all,

I apologize in advance for my ignorance regarding BuddyPress.

I currently have a WordPress site for my organization. I just installed the BuddyPress plug-in and am looking to allow certain people (our international partners, but nobody else) to be able to log-in to our website.

1) How can I create a log-in tab?
2) How can I ensure that only certain people are able to create user accounts and log-in?
3) Once those people are logged-in, is there any way to have a private section of the site that only they can access? On there would be access to fellow members’ profiles, an ability to post documents or photos to a forum thread, private message other members, etc?

Thank you!!
