Topic: Assign users to a given category

Greetings everyone,

I just did a fresh install of punBB, which since 1 week is bridged with TypoLight CMS, and I'm playing around to get familiar with.
I have 2 categories in the forum and depending on the user rights some users can see cat1 and others cat2. Admin will decide what users are allowed to participate in a given category.
By default is there any option to assign a user to a given category? I'm looking around and maybe I'm blind but I can't find any setting in the admin section.

TIA

Re: Assign users to a given category

You have to make a group for each type of user, put them in it and set the forum permissions for the forums in those categories.

Not user <-> category

You can however put them in different groups, and then control forum access for the groups.

Re: Assign users to a given category

Maybe I'm blind but I can't see any permission settings to associate a given group with a category.
Please could you tell me exactly where these options are?
EDIT: Ok found it . DEFINITELY blind. Long sleepless night has that effect
