I have set general permissions in usergroups for those who can / cannot post to bugtracker.

but I would have liked to have kept it private using forum password or just using custom usergroup settings on that forum pointing to vbugs.php

If i tell the forum to have password it is not applied. I can access the forum anytime even with password set.

I cannot define custom usergroup settings either per forum. So it is not possible for me to exclude groups.

Is this by design?

Small example 1. I have guests set in default usergroup premissions as being able to add bugs/see bugs.

For now i want to keep forum private for testing.

So I edit the guest usergroup in that forum and change the forum permissions to custom and leave only view forum=yes, but turn off all other options (see others threads, post et all)

I do not see any possiblity for custom settings for vbugs here.

Guests can still see, post, add bugs without a problem!

Small example 2. I have password set for forum to which points to vbugs.php.

For now i want to keep forum private for testing.

So I set password

Guests can still see, post, add bugs without a problem! No password required.

Possible I am missing something simple here?
