I’m thinking of creating a forum permission plugin until it becomes a part of bbPress officially. Before I start, I was wondering whether a similar plugin already exists? From a search of these forums, and on Google, there is nothing out there that will allow somebody to limit posts by user group.

Is this because nobody has tried yet, or because its impossible?

There’s a forum permissions plugin here – I’ve used it on a number of bbPress installs, and it is really great!

Ok, I obviously wasn’t looking hard enough.

Hidden-Forums will (as the name suggests), hide forums? What if you don’t want to hide forums, but just stop people with certain roles posting to the forum?

I believe this plugin should cover that situation?
