How Do I ... Limit access to specific user groups?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The obvoius answer I know is to change the access in that group so that they can not access the board. But what is the setting that I should change in the admincp? Or is it just one setting, or more than one?

There are times when we get inundated with ppl for various reasons, and I want the ability to only let VIP members and staff on the board for a certain amount of time.

Also, is there a way to have the restricted users see a message? Something like, "VIP access only at this time, Please return later"

Thanks for any help..
