Issue Summary
Hi,
I have many forums and while creating each of them I used the Access control feature to give viewing permission to a certain role which now I want to withhold. Is there a way to do that without having to go into each of the forums and un-tick the 'view this forum' checkbox?
If there is not such a feature, then how do I avoid this problem in the future?
thanks

No, there's no such feature. You are welcome to provide a design and/or implementation here.

Sounds like a good use for Views Bulk Operations: http://drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations

VBO works on nodes, not on forums.

Well, forum posts are nodes, and forum containers are terms... Can views module handle both nodes and terms?

Views can handle terms.
What we'd need to do is to change the forums and then tell core that permissions need rebuilding. This can involve hundreds or even thousands of nodes, and the code is already there.
I just don't see what a reasonable and safe user interface would look like...
