The problem is just to controll how the users get in this group(and maybe the differend groups do not see each other, and each others posts - but this would be "virtual forum hosting" AFAIK ).Rafael Steil wrote:Well, based on your description, I understand that what you want is a process to only accept users after some admininistrator approves its registration.

How to remove all the rights? in those rights "lists" there's no such item like "no rights".Rafael Steil wrote:For now, you can remove all permissions from the "General" group, and then the Administrator can move the users to another group. This will solve your problem.
If in the user overview, a column with the "group" would be shown, than one would know that all the users in group "General" are "pending for approval" in this "no rights" scenario, right?Rafael Steil wrote: The only gotcha is that there is no feature on jforum that will list "users pending aproving".
When do you plan to realease 2.1 (or at lest the RC ) ?Rafael Steil wrote:

Thank you very much,

By default all users get into "General", as you may know. About seeing or not posts from users of other groups I don't have any opinion other than almost no one will need something like that. (Considering, of course, that roles are "allowed" to all. If users of some group are restricted to post only in forums where no other group has access, so this "feature" can be made by regular permissions).

Yes, something like that. What I have in mind is to provide another link for that, like "Users by Group", or, when editing some group, give the possibility to show the related users.

The basic idea for "virtual forums" is that different groups of people use the same forum installtion without knowing about each other(exept the administrator). If on needs for this as many installations as "virtual groups" than that would be no more "virtual hosting".Rafael Steil wrote:
