Does both actually. A quick look at the code would show this.

From memberlist.php

PHP Code:

// permissions check
if (!($permissions['forumpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) OR !($permissions['genericpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['canviewmembers']))
{
 print_no_permission();
}
