Topic: Restrict Users to Topics

I want allow my clients & helpers to access "project forums" where we discuss our project... but I don't want the clients to see each others forums. Is it possible to restrict certain users to certain forums?

Thanks,
Tobias Brown.

put them in different usergroups, and then assign access accordingly ... but only to forums (not topics)

Re: Restrict Users to Topics

This works great!

I can now invite clients into the board to discuss their project -- without them seeing other client discussions. Very cool!

One small downside is that if you have many clients (category level) with a few forums or topics under each one (design, maintenance, misc) you have 6-8 check boxes to swich off for each "Edit group permissions for this forum" area, you have lots of settings to change manually, potentially hundreds, depending on the size of your system. But anyway, it's a great tool for my business now.

I added the Mod which allows only me (the Admin) to add subcribers.

Thanks.
