Our group is looking at setting up a forum on our Web site. However, one of the things we want is for it to ONLY be accessible by members of our group as items we discuss are amongst our members only.

Is it possible to do with with bbPress?

Example, if we have 50 companies as part of our group, the Administrator could be the only person who would set up access for people in this group. No other person could join so that any information or questions posted would only be able to be read and accessed by whomever is part of the group. In other words, no other person could join, like I just did here, and be able to access the forums.

Any help is appreciated. thanks!

Duane,

I think you’re better off using an installation of WordPress with the awesome P2 theme. It may suit your needs better.

dogeil, try these plugins:

• Force Login by Michael D Adams plus the *voodoo code from Trent Adams and Sam Bauers*.
• Disable Registrations by Simon Wheatley

I had a similar need and I modified the former, ending up with a new (yet-to-be-released) plugin which redirect every non-logged-in user to a custom page.

If anyone would like to try my plugin, I’ve finally found out how to upload it! You may download it here. ^_
