I come to find this question too. No one got a answer yet?

Supposedly 1.02 has this feature in it, tied to GroupJive, (see groupjive.org). However, I haven't been able to get it properly working yet, exactly, at least not using the steps listed on the site and the RC2 build posted in the forums. Seems like we're getting closer to at least having something, though.

FireBoard originally considered groups for FB 1.0.3 but they did not make the build.

GroupJive can offer a maturing component along with other features in addtion to Private Forums. GroupJive does Bulletin Boards w/comments via JomComment, integrates with EventList as well as PMS and Email. GroupJive also hosts a friendly and supportive community .

Hopefully MOD's will inform me that I am posting with proper etiquette
I'm hoping too.

Need to jump in here and register our need for this as well.

In our case, we're desparate for a place where our server admins can discuss things that really shouldn't be in the public domain, such as bans, etc.

[UPDATED]

GroupJive works quite well with FireBoard for Private Forum posting.

The current GroupJive release is in Beta3 and soon to be RC1.

The Forum integration with FireBoard works flawlessly. Just follow the readme.txt in the GroupJive install package -AND- be sure to use the recent FireBoard 1.0.3 build. BestOfJoomla patched a filter issue on the most recent posts module on 8/23/2007 that keeps unpublished forums from "public view".

GroupJive is at http://groupjive.org. It is a working solution

Hope this helps.

Groups will be in 1.5 series as it needed a lot of modifications and testing and also was linked to a better session management.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood your post above. Does that mean that 1.0.x version of Joomla won't work with any sort of default FB user access control? That is to say, if we want to continue running version 1.0.13 of Joomla we'll need some 3rd party component?

Use jaclplus pro. www.byostech.com

Thank you for the link. Hopefully FB will nail this down internally before long.
