Forum Access

This module changes your forum administration page to allow you to set forums private. You can control what user roles can view, edit, delete, and post to each forum. You can also give each forum a list of users who have administrative access on that forum (AKA moderators).

This module requires the ACL module in order to function.

Forum Access is compatible with the core Forum module, Advanced Forum, and OG Forum as well as all other well-behaved node access modules.

Open issues outside of Forum Access:

• Drupal Core 5 and 6 (#250041: "Posts" column shows wrong count values (for non-admin account)): please help with #113611: Forum count incorrect when using access control modules (affects all node access control modules, not just FA!)...
• Drupal Core 6 / Views2: Another db_rewrite_sql() issue causes DISTINCT queries (frequently used in Views2) to fail, when any node access module is enabled (see #284392: db_rewrite_sql causing issues with DISTINCT).
  Update: a patch has been committed and this should be fixed in the upcoming Drupal 6.14.
  Update: 6.14 is out and this issue should be fixed now, but another related one has popped up: #579892: Authors and only authors see duplicate items after upgrading Drupal to 6.14 and #284392: db_rewrite_sql causing issues with DISTINCT. Unless you need any of the security fixes in 6.14, you may be better off waiting for 6.15... If you're using 6.14, then read #579892-117.
