Restrict Forum To User Group

Hi,

Is there anyway I can restrict a forum to a user group?

I have a private forum which I only want viewable by a group which I created.

I thought once I'd created the group it would appear in the drop down on the forum settings for access but it doesn't.

Any Ideas?

TIA...

Did you enable access to the module for the new group in the group permissions?
Which forum are you using?

Hi ghia,

Yes I enabled access for the forum module within the group. I'm using newbbex. It does have a drop down for access when editing the forum but only has the options for anon, reg or admin users.

Hope this can be done :)

Hi,

Solved this...

I stupidly didn't see under the forum options one for Edit Priv Forums... there you can add users individually.

Cheers!
