Basically yes, but in my case it won't work because I have about eight 
groups (each one corresponding with a certain content element), so I 
cannot just assign a page to a group, as a user can adhere multiple 
groups - so I would have to make  256 different pages for eight groups 
to honor all combinations. Impossible to maintain by an editor.
Will have to think more... or wait until someone post a solution... :)

thanks anyway
