How would I even begin making a database for this...and what language would be recommended for the front end?


I am trying to make a group structure for my site. This is hard to explain so I made a chart in Word that shows the concept. It will be much easier to follow than me.

Basically, the group structure allows for a user to create a forum board. The forum board will only be for the user who created the board and anyone the owner invites. Within the users that have access to the forum board they will be able to create sub-groups. The sub-group owner will be able to invite only the people within the super-group.

Permissions will also be carried down in this same way. If a user can add members in the super-group, the user is by default able to add users in any groups under itself.
