Topic: Closed forum(s) -- is it possible within PunBB?

Is it possible to have a part of a PunBB forum closed so that only users, granted with certain privilege, may have access to reading/writing to it?
The rest of the PunBB should be public to all users.

There is a feature like this in PHPBB, but does PunBB also have it?

Of couse, the PunBB.org News here is an example of it, everyone can read and reply but not open new topics. Just theck the forums permissions, admin panel -> forums -> edit forum
