XF 1.5 Limit Users to Subforum

[Poindexter]

What is the easiest way to limit a user or users to a specific subforum? If this doesn't deserve it's own thread, my apologies.

In this specific case, members would need to be able to view the parent node - if they don't even have view access, they won't be able to view the child nodes.

Other permissions related to posting, etc. can be granted with an explicit allow.

Okay, so given the first screen capture I sent, I would leave the Off Topic category alone and maybe move the Politics forum so it isn't a child of the Off Topic forum (but instead a direct child of the Off Topic category) and then revoke all the other categories, forums, and subforums. Is that right?

I'm not sure what other forums you're referring to off hand, but moving the politics forum out of the off topic forum would allow people to access it (but not OT).
