First I need to know if I set up the forum correctly. I'm still confused on categories vs forums vs subforums.
In the event that is set up correctly, how may I go about making the different forums private, only accessible to the members of the teams/particular forum. see screenshot. thanks
Forum is at: http://76f.f93.myftpupload.com/community/
To see the difference beteween Categories, Forums and subForums please read this doc:

Accesses and Permissions for different users:
If you have two forums (cat, forum or subforum), say Forum 1 and Forum 2 and two users User 1 and User 2. You can do this confguration to make a user specific access forums:
1. Create a Company 1 Usergroup and attach User 1 to this group (Dashboard > Forums > Usergroup)
2. Create a Company 2 Usergroup and attach User 2 to this group (Dashboard > Forums > Usergroup)
3. Edit Forum 1 and set permissions:
- Admin - Full Access
- Moderator - Moderator
- Customer - No Access
- Registered No Access
- Guests - No access
- Company 1 - Standard Access
- Company 2 - No Access
4. Edit Forum 2 and set permissions:
- Admin - Full Access
- Moderator - Moderator
- Customer - No Access
- Registered No Access
- Guests - No access
- Company 1 - No Access
- Company 2 - Standard Access
