Joomla custom user groups

I have a Joomla website and there are two sections to the site. One section is for the public and the other is for retailers which have to be approved. What I need is to create a group of users which are the only ones who can access the retailer section of the site. These users don't get any editing/publishing/administrator roles; they're just registered users with special access. I've tried several extensions but had no luck with it. Does anyone know how this can be done?

You don't need groups: you just have to make sure to disable the "self registration" option (from admin control panel: Global Configuration -> system -> Allow User Registration = No)

Global Configuration

Also, you'll have to configure each article/menu to have Access Level "public"/"registered".

article/menu permissions
You can register new users from the admin control panel and only they will be able to view "registered" content.
