I have some Beta Software testing forums on my board only visible to the Beta Testing Group.
Is it possible to show the a "Beta Forum" tab using usergroup permissions so that the tab is only visible to the Beta testers ?

yes, just wrap the specific tab with this... (use the ID's of the user groups you want to be able to view it)

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5,6)"> 

</if>

so it would look something like this.. (The code in RED is what you would need to add ...

<!-- Tabbed Forum Home Tabs Layout -->
	<ul id="forumtabs" class="shadetabs"> 
	<li><a href="#" rel="tcontent1" class="selected">Tab 1 Name</a></li> 
	<li><a href="#" rel="tcontent2">Tab 2 Name</a></li> 
	<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5,6)">
           <li><a href="#" rel="tcontent3">BETA FORUM Tab/a></li>
        </if> 
	</ul> 
	<!-- /Tabbed Forum Home Tabs Layout -->

Then you will also want to wrap the tab display data as well ..

<!-- Tabbed Forum Home – START BETA FORUM TAB Content Layout -->

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5,6)">

<div id="tcontent3" class="tabcontent">

CONTENT REMOVED FOR EXAMPLE ONLY

</div>

</if>

<!-- /Tabbed Forum Home – END BETA FORUM TAB Content Layout-->
