I need to create somehow restricted access on one part of subforum.

Not possible in Fireboard without a 3rd party component. The general consensus is that GroupJive is best to accomplish this.

You could make your special users Authors, and create a new subforum allowing only Authors and above to see & enter.

But that would be a Joomla solution. I find that workaround doesn't offer the kind of control that seems to be needed in a forum.

Of course, but it is a basic "in the meantime" solution.

I'm hoping there will be advanced group control in the next Fireboard release.

Re:how to create special usergroup for forum 10 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
btw did any1 tried to add this to sql ?

SET @parent_name = 'Registered';
SET @new_name = 'Private';

-- Select the parent node to insert after
SELECT @ins_id := group_id, @ins_lft := lft, @ins_rgt := rgt
FROM mos_core_acl_aro_groups
WHERE name = @parent_name;
SELECT @new_id := MAX(group_id) + 1 FROM mos_core_acl_aro_groups;

-- Make room for the new node
UPDATE mos_core_acl_aro_groups SET rgt=rgt+2 WHERE rgt>=@ins_rgt;
UPDATE mos_core_acl_aro_groups SET lft=lft+2 WHERE lft>@ins_rgt;

-- Insert the new node
INSERT INTO mos_core_acl_aro_groups (group_id,parent_id,name,lft,rgt)
VALUES (@new_id,@ins_id,@new_name,@ins_rgt,@ins_rgt+1);

Re:how to create special usergroup for forum 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
I tried to make all my group "authors" and restricted every sub forum and the category to Author - but registered users can still see it.

Am I missing a step here?

The reason being I need to have a forum category restricted to team players only so that anyone not currently signed up cannot read player stats and whatnot which would be posted here.

Any advice greatly appreciated

I think they can see the topics but not the actual thread. Thats what my tests show. It doesnt show up in the 'latest posts' though, just if you navigate to actual category. Maybe you can work with that if no one else has a solution.

GroupJive, Juga, Rokaccess or JACL.
