XF 1.4 Cannot get hidden admin forums viewable

[Shipside]

I had three forums previously invisible to my vbb users.

Admin, and some others.

I first tried limiting them to selected users only: Private node.
I added the moderators and admins.

Forums were not usable.

I then removed private mode, and set node viewable in all classes except admin and mods to "never"

Still not viewable.

What am I doing wrong?

There are two ways of doing it.

1. Set the node as private
2. Allow the 'View node' permission for the desired user group(s) or user(s).

or

1. Revoke the 'View node' permission for the Registered user group
2. Allow the 'View node' permission for the desired user group(s) or user(s).

This assumes you have set your user groups up correctly as per this guide: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/implementing-permissions-across-multiple-user-groups.358/

I will solve my own problem, I had a blocked group as primary and admin as secondary.

Please close thread. I should know better than to work when tired...
