All can view but only specific usergroup can post

[Cyn]

I want to restrict the posting to a specific forum so that only a specified usergroup can post there yet all other usergroups have read-only access. Of course the moderator of the forum should be able to access and fulfill necessary moderator duties.

This (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39738) by Logician worked great in restricting posting based on number of posts. But in this case the number of posts is not important. It's the usergroup that qualifies posting privileges that I need now.

Thanks!

Edited to add: I wonder if I could use the hack above by simply leaving out the line qualifying by post counts???

In AdminCP there is a function for it.

As far as I know AdminCP settings for something like this is through access masks/forum permissions. I only want this to limit posting abilities of all user groups but one specific one to one specific forum. I *think* access masks/forum permissions would block the other users from being able to read the specific forum. i want them to be able to read but not post.

If I'm wrong about this please explain how it's done.

ACP forum permissions can be handled on a per forumand per usergroup base.

Just play around with the settings.
You should also read the manual of vb before you try to hack it...
