Restrict Moderators from viewing private Social Groups

[Merriweather]

There is no AdminCP option to restrict moderators from being able to view private groups, but I would like to be able to do so. Has anyone found a way to modify vB to be able to create such a restriction?

It's in the usergroup permissions:
Can Always Create Discussions
If enabled, the user will also be able to view private and invite only groups.
and
Can Always Post Messages
If enabled, the user will also be able to view private and invite only groups.

Read through all those options because if you leave them all at yes, you are giving the users in that group some permissions you may not want them to have.

It doens't appear to matter how a moderator's permissions are set -- you cannot restrict them from viewing private groups using the settings vB offers. This comes from ym reading several posts at vB.com where staff says you would have to customize the code to prevent moderators from viewing private groups.

It does seem that I can go in, one by one, and restrict their settings, but ideally, it should be a usergroups setting (IMO).
