Hi all,

in the site I am building there are different sections each accessible
to a different groups of users
identified by different roles; users can have more than one role. I am
using Taxonomy Access Control
but I do not manage to restrict access to Forums.
What I would like is:
    user with role X can read/write on Forum X
    user with role X, Y can read/write on Forum X and Y
and so on ...
I defined Taxonomy Access Permission using the term that is created
automatically
when you create a Forum but it doesn't seem to work...
If the Forum and the Term of the Forum Vocabulary are named "X" I have set
Taxonomy access permissions for Anonymous and Authenticated roles as
follows:
    Show-Deny   Update-Deny   Delete-Deny
And for the role "X":
    Show-Allow  Update-Allow   Delete-Deny   List
When log in as a user with role "X" and I try to add a new Forum Topic
the drop-down list of Forums is empty!
I manage to reply to a Topic added by the admin.
Any hints?
    

There is also a "Create" permission in TAC, which controls the terms
appearing in the category selection dropdown list for tagging the
node. 

The role also needs "create" and "edit own" general permissions
in admin/user/access.
  

You may also want to disable the "Update" TAC permission if you don't
want that role to be able to edit *anyone's* posts. That one is only
good for moderators. It is not needed for privileged "readers".


  

Second issue: is it possible to have one Forum moderated and another one
not moderated
on different sections?
    

You mean with a different URL? Not out of the box as far as I know.
Perhaps you could fake a forum using a custom-made "forum" front page
with assigned views, a content type and categories.
