Question How to restrict access to specific users

Dear Kunena community,

Does anyone know how to restrict a forum to a specific group of registered users without having to upgrade those users to authors, etc.

Basically, I want to make a category of a forum visible to only specific users but don't want to have to make them "authors" or anything above registered.

Is there any way to do this? I searched the forums and there was mention of installing a component called noixACL, but it's very complicated to install, and it is not clear if that even solves the problem.

Any ideas?

Search in this forum and JED for the "control" extension. Works well with the limitation that one person can only belong to one group.

hi, thanks for your help. I did search JED and I wasn't able to find any component by the name of "control". Do you remember the full name of it?

You are correct. Control has been removed from JED and discontinued from the authors JXtended.

Art of Joomla has picked up it until Joomla 1.6 comes out. You can download it here

For instructions search this forum for restricted forum. Macjoomla and JBHawaii appear to be the key guys explaining this solution.
