I am still doing something wrong. I will step you through what I have done. Before I do that, thank you for your time and effort!!

Login to the forum as an admin then go To admin Control Panel, then Groups Manager. I type in the name of the new group I wish to create called "New Test Group". Under Group Resources I select/highlight the 2 forums I want this group to have access.

select Inherit from = no where
Anonymous and Registered Masks = No.

Then I set the following Permissions to Yes.
Visible
Read
Create new Topic
Reply to Messages

The rest of the permissions are set to no. Scroll down and click on Add.

I then return to the forum, and then click on the Groups Manager link. In the group drop down menu, I select the group I just created called New Test Group and click edit group. I then click find user, type in the user name and submit, then click on their name and it populates the member field with the proper user name. I then change the settings as follows.

all set to yes
Visible, read, post, reply.
The remaining options are set to no. I then click Add Member.

I then go to another PC and login as user I just added to the New Test Group, and I see all forums and can post to any of the forums.

Shouldn't this user only be able to view the "resources" I selected for the "New Test Group" when configuring the permission for that group?

I feel I am doing something incorrect, but have no clue what it is. I just can't understand how to restrict users or groups from participating in the forums I chose to restrict.

Thanks again for any help.
