Is there a way to create a forum that access can be granted individually regardless usergroup membership. Such forum should be only visible to users for whom this access was granted to.
I am sorry if I am bringing this issue if someone already asked it before. I did some search but to no avail. I would appreciate your help.

Thank you.

1. Create new "private forum".
2. Edit forum permissions and set all usergroups to "no" for access to said "private forum".
3a. Create new usergroup & add the "special users" to it as a secondary usergroup or as their main usergroup.
3.b Leave users as they are and use the access masks option when editing a user and allow them access individually to said "private forum".
4. If you move users into said "special usergroup", edit the forum permissions and allow that group access t osaid "private forum"

Perfect. I have chosen above route. Thanks a lot for your help!
