Hey Ludovic,

Quoting a bbPress Codex entry on forum visibility and accessibility:

Private – Only logged in registered users with a forum role can see these forums

With that in mind, so long as the user is logged in and has been assigned to a forum role (ie, participant) – which can be set directly if required via the edit-user admin screen (ie /wp-admin/user-edit.php?user_id=xyz) – then they ought to be able to access the private forum.

Does that help at all/am I misunderstanding?
