In previous versions of Kunena you could limit which Admin usergroups could access individual forums. Unless I'm missing it, that feature was left out of Kunena 3.0. While I would like my admins to be able to configure the forums from the back end, I do not want certain usergroups to see everything on the forum.

Hello,

You need to configure the access rights by category : www.kunena.org/docs/Sections,_Categories...egories_%28Part_1%29

I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.

When you use the term "forums", I am assuming that you mean forum categories. If that is waht you mean then, yes, your statement is correct. Access to forum categories using Joomla user groups has existed as part of Kunena since K 1.0. Access to forum categories using Joomla ACL groups has been part of Kunena since K 1.6.

See my answer above.

Again, when you use the term "forums", I am assuming that you mean forum categories. You can only configure forum categories from the backend and, therefore, you need privileged backend access (i.e. administrators and super users) ...

You can control the level of access to forum categories depending on the usergroup (i.e. Joomla ACL) that the logged-in account belongs to. The means to do this have been part of Kunena for more than 3 years. In this sense, xillibit is partly correct when he referred you to the Wiki. Unfortunately, this very important part of how to configure Kunena forum categories has not been updated for a few years and we do not have a better tuturial available for you.

There are, however, many topics in this forum here that can help you but the specific answer to your specific problem may require more information from you.

I hope some of this helps.
