Yes, I just wish there would be an easier way to do that than the one you noted below. It seems like vB just adds usergroups to all forums that exist, instead of the other way around, only adding groups to forums the user specifies. It just takes getting used to it.

Thanks a lot, this will help indeed. I suppose I need to copy the permission not only to subforums but to all forums of the board except the one I do want to have access to.

I don't suppose there is any chance vB will rework the permission system so that groups will have to be added to forums they have access to, instead of new groups being added to all forums of the board, eh?
