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

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
