Question User Groups, User Group Privileges, ACLs

I don't think so. As far as I know (and I may be wrong) there has been no interest shown by the authors of JUGA towards Kunena. I do not know, for that matter, if JUGA is intended to be updated for J! 1.6 either. This is something that you might like to ask the people who developed JUGA.

I am wanting to make it so that our forum has three different levels of access. I want everyone to be able to SEE the forum (but not be able to comment or create threads), I want a subgroup to be able to COMMENT on already created threads (but not be able to create them) and I want a final subgroup to be able to CREATE threads.

So far, I have looked through all the Kunena help forums and FAQ pages but I can't find what I am looking for.

Is it possible? Any help?

Thank you!

G'day, johnbryant, and welcome to Kunena.

As you can see, I have merged your question with this long topic, we have been asked this question many times before. Unfortunately there is a basic limitation in Kunena 1.x that means that your question cannot be easily solved at this precise moment. With the current architecture of K 1.6, it is not yet possible to achieve different kinds of access to forum categories based on different user rights.

That's the bad news. The good news is that action-based ACL-driven user rights for forum categories undeer development as part of the major Kunena 2.0 project. This project needs your support and, if this requirement is critical to your needs, we may be able to help one another. Members of the community can support the project in many ways: financially, software development, active participation in unit and system testing, documentation, sponsorship, etc.

We have a Forex site using Kunena eesfx.com and we'd like to have a feature that we could enable access to particular forum categories based on certain users, NOT their designation - such as author, administrator, etc. This would allow us to create forums for particular clients who are paranoid about sharing the details of their strategy with other users.

This is achievable using third-party ACL products, e.g. Artof User

Actually this is a feature I've been thinking of adding into Kunena 2.0 -- have categories where you can have private discussions with moderators only.
