Restricting results by user Groups using the Groups plugin by itthinx

 To restrict the plugin search results by user groups, when using the Groups plugin, please use the custom code below.
​What is this, and where do I put this custom code?​
add_filter('asp_results', 'asp_fix_groups_exclusions', 10, 1);
function asp_fix_groups_exclusions($results) {
	// Group based exclusions
	if ( class_exists('Groups_Post_Access') ) {
		foreach ($results as $k => &$r) {
			if ( isset($r->post_type) && !Groups_Post_Access::user_can_read_post($r->id) )
				unset($results[$k]);
		}
	}
	// Category based exclusions
	if ( class_exists('Groups_Restrict_Categories') ) {
		foreach ($results as $k => &$r) {
			if ( isset($r->post_type) && !Groups_Restrict_Categories::user_can_read($r->id) )
				unset($results[$k]);
		}
	}
	return $results;
}
Please note, that this may affect the number of results returned negatively, as this code will remove the unwanted results from the list during the results post processing.

Filter posts (or CPT) which user can’t access

Limiting results to specific posts by parent ID
