Hi! I would like to restrict access of a forum topic to a certain users, by name. Is there any way to do this?

Hi Josh,
The only way is this:
- Create a new Forum Access for example "Restricted Access" (disable forum/topic view) in Settings > Forum Accesses Tab
- Create new Usergroup, for example "Restricted Users" in Forums > Usergroups admin page.
- Edit forums and in Forum Permission metabox set "Restricted Access" for "Restricted Users" usergroup.
- Then edit certain user and set "Restricted Users" usergroup.
