XF 1.5 Private Category setup?

[Alpha1]

What is the best way to setup a private category? i.e. a category holding many private forums.
In vb I could just set the top node to restrictive and then have the child nodes inherit this. But XF has private nodes. Do I need to set all nodes to private one by one? And then set permission for each node for each usergroup that should have access?

Child nodes inherit permissions from the parent.

So assuming whomever has access to the private category should have access to all forums within it, just set the category as private.

That is awesome! This will save a lot of time.

I assume it will also work for this setup:

- main restricted section (private node A)
- - staff zone (private node B)
- - - staff forum 1
- - - staff forum 2
- - - staff forum 3
- - premium user forums (private node C)
- - - premium forum 1
- - - premium forum 2
- - - premium forum 3

In the above scenario can I just mark A, B and C as private node and then give Allow permissions to staff groups for B and premium groups for C? And then their child nodes will automatically be only accessible to the correct groups?

Yes, that will work.
