Paul I sent you a PM on flashchat so it's up to you how you answer. If you reply to the PM I'll copy the answer here as I know other users are interested having read through a lot of posts here and at tufat.

Please note this is about restricting access but passwords are not the solution. I teach classes for teens: some will delight in handing around a password! so they can gatecrash each others' classes (and disrupt them).
So I need to restrict access to at least some rooms to the students who are members of a class / usergroup.

I need to have at least three rooms (but would like more) where only certain members can go to each room. I have similar access to their own forums, via usergroup on vb, and access permissions were a major reason for choosing vb.

It would be great to config the flashchat integrate mod to carry over the same usergroups as I have on vb. That would be heaven! so a user with e.g. B usergroup can then be allocated access to their own B room, C usergroup can be given access to their own C room etc.

Failing that as I have a small community I could do the flashchat access manually so each room gets a list of its users/
OR each user is allocated one (or more?) of the private rooms.

Thanks for a lovely mod. I think it's a tribute to a great mod that it raises expectations so we want more!
