It works the same way as making a BlogPost.
Go to NEW Forum and on the right-side is a drop down menu that says: Visibility: Public you have two other options, Private and Hidden.
And for the User roles i have no idea, i’m also still working on that. But i think they work on how they are set in WordPress.
Prob. some other User Role plugins will work perfectly together with bbPress.

My question:
Why is it possible for a member (sigh a signed-up user) to go into the dashboard area and Edit all this posts to Private or Password protected?
I’ve tried it a few minutes ago and it will only hide or protect one post in a topic.
I don’t know if i like it or not …
Thanks for your reply. I got that far, but it’s the roles issue that is bothering me.
