I've got my forums up and going. I've created a couple of forums and am now trying to restrict access to them. Do I specify a role for each forum? Do I define an access mask? This would be having three 'areas' and people only have rights to one out of three.
The normal way is you would assign a user to a role and next for each forum you apply a different access mask for each role. But you can also apply an access masks direct to a user for a specific forum.
In your example you only would need a user group (role) books and movies and next set the access masks.
So really you only need one board. You only need to set the access mask "Hide if no access" for each forum so the user would only see the forums he or she have access to.
