No, it's not only limited to groups. It is a total ban on electioneering communication by anyone other than the candidates themselves and "the news media."

If I want to personally produce a television advertisement that says the Democrat candidate for President will be dangerous for America, and I personally buy the airtime to show that advertisement on television, if I do this within 60 days of the election, I am in violation of this law.

BCRA suppresses independent nonparty groups that refer to an identifiable federal candidate within 30 days of a primary or 60 days of a general election. In many cases, these "groups" are individuals.

"In a nutshell, the ads say that people who feel strongly about an issue cannot jointly buy an ad on television to share their opinions and to note that one candidate or another better represents their views." click

Not if you declare yourself a candidate. ;^)
