The gradebook does not currently consider the experimental [[Available for group members only]] functionality. (See MDL-13868 for details.) It is recommended that separate courses are used instead. A possible workaround is:
# Put all graded activity is assigned to a particular grouping into one category
# Set the aggregation for the category to maximum grade
# Hide the individual activities

Note that since you can have a group of only one member, you can therefore have a grouping of only one member too, if you wish to restrict an activity to a single person in your course.

Groupings were designed to allow a selection of different sets of groups in each activity. See Groupings for an example scenario.

What is the difference between a group and a grouping?
