My teams started using FUDForum a couple months ago and we love it. Thanks so much for a great tool.

I had a question about how to set security as we grow. Any advice would be appreciated.

My R&D teams use the forum for internal discussion. These forums are high traffic and new forums are added with new projects.

We get a lot of questions from the support team that end up in email and on IM. I would like to put these in a central place so they are searchable and can be answered by multiple people so FUDforum is the obvious solution. I imagine a category under which I had a forum for each product we build. At the same time I'm not all that excited to give them access to internal R&D discussion.

As a result I have a group of R&D users which need access to all forums (the list of which are rapidly growing). Then I have a group of support users which need access to a select (fairly static) set of forums. Could somebody suggest a group security setup that would be the easiest to setup, administer, and keep up? I can't quite grok the group admin functionality in a way that points me to an obvious solution. I probably will add about 10 users a month to both groups.

Thanks for your help!

Given the small number of users you'll be adding each month what I would do for your "internal" forums is remove all privs from ALL anon and registered users (special auto-users inside the group). The explicitly give access to the users who you want to have access to that forum.
