Yes in fact.

You can delete the link in your footer, but if someone has a direct link they would still be able to see the archive. I'm sure there has to be a way to do what you are asking.

In your footer template,

Find:

				<if condition="$vboptions['archiveenabled']"><a href="archive/index.php">$vbphrase[archive]</a> -</if>

Add above:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7)"><!-- Remove or add Usergroup ID's here -->

Edit this to only show link in footer to the usergroups you want to see the link.

Find:

				$template_hook[footer_links]

Add above:

</if>

Click save.

As Boofo mentioned above, those that know the direct URL can still get to it & view it, but they can only view the forums you gave them permisson to view in Forum Manager. Remember, they do not see what you see.

Ok, do this.

In your footer template,

Find:

				<if condition="$vboptions['archiveenabled']"><a href="archive/index.php">$vbphrase[archive]</a> -</if>

Replace with:

                                                    <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7)"><!-- Remove or add Usergroup ID's here -->
				<if condition="$vboptions['archiveenabled']"><a href="archive/index.php">$vbphrase[archive]</a> -</if>
                                                               </if>

Edit this to only show link in footer to the usergroups you want to see the link.



Click save.
