Topic: Is there an add-on to create more user types?

I'm looking at having users assigned to a specific Topic (for lack of a better way) and thought if we could add User types (Guest, Admin, Moderator) and assign them to each topic.  In my case, I'm looking at Alumni for one school having their own Topic (School XYZ - Class of 1977) and another school a different topic.  By using the logic that says only a moderator is allowed in this area, it could be accomplished or has it already been done

Unfortunately there isn't any mechanism for creating groups among the users. The only possible solution I can think of is using Cactuz' mod, but it will require you to manually add access for every single user.

Okay.  I take it that the "moderator" was setup as a hard-coded option, since you did have the capability of allowing only admin and moderators into certain areas.
