Hi,

I have a new Drupal site and want to create a forum that only certain members can access, with the rest of the forums accessible by all authenticated members. I've seen the Node Privacy by Role module (http://drupal.org/project/node_privacy_byrole) used for this, but I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to do it on our site. We've already successfully installed and enabled the module in ?q=admin/settings/node_privacy_byrole. However, we're not able to determine how to actually restrict access to a particular node (the private forum) by role.

Could someone please post a procedure for doing so?

Thanks in advance,

Dennis

You actually want taxonomy_access for this, which will allow you to restrict access to the entire category.
