Subscribers-only content?

Hello,

Installed CMS MS yesterday and I'd like to congrat
the developers for the great job they did!

I'm wondering is there any possibility or modul for subscribers-only content.
Is there any way to create two main groups with
the following permissions:
First group (say "Visitors") to be able to read just a part
of the content - 50-100 words and to be able to read the whole
content they should be approved for the second group (say "Customers").
This group "Customers" to has the permission to read the whole content.

Tnank you in advance for any advice! :)

There are numerous posts on this forum about the modules you'll need:

a) FrontEndUsers - provides logins, groups, change settings, and forgotten password founctionality
b) SelfRegistration - Allows users to register themselves with FrontEndUsers
c) CustomContent - Allows customizing the page content or the page template based on login status, etc.

For cutting content you can use a smarty modifier named truncate

Looks like it will work! :)
