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:

  1. Create a new Forum Access for example "Restricted Access" (disable forum/topic view) in Settings > Forum Accesses Tab
  2. Create new Usergroup, for example "Restricted Users" in Forums > Usergroups admin page.
  3. Edit forums and in Forum Permission metabox set "Restricted Access" for "Restricted Users" usergroup.
  4. Then edit certain user and set "Restricted Users" usergroup.
