This module changes your forum administration page to allow you to set forums private. You can control what user roles can view, edit, delete, and post to each forum. You can also give each forum a list of users who have administrative access on that forum (AKA moderators).

This module requires the ACL module in order to function. The D7 version also requires the Chain Menu Access API 2.x module.

Forum Access for D7 is compatible with the core Forum module, Advanced Forum, and Content Access, Domain Access as well as all other well-behaved node access modules.

Forum Access for Drupal 8+

nevergone has ported Forum Access to D8. Now we need testing, see #3377862: Forum Access for D8/9 — BETA2 for details, as well as

We have received very little feedback on FA for D8, and the automated tests have not been ported, which means that it is likely to stay in BETA forever.

In D8, the priority column of the node_access table was removed, which makes it difficult for multiple node access modules to cooperate. An effort was started early on to restore that functionality in contrib with the Node Access Priority module, but this was never completed. Thus, if you use multiple node access modules, your mileage may vary!

On the other hand, Drupal introduced multi-language support for nodes and and content moderation. It is unclear, how Forum Access gets along with these features. A precondition for working on these features (or any node access-related functionality, actually) would be to complete the implementation of the Devel Node Access module.

If you are interested in working on any of these topics, please get in touch!

Forum Access for Drupal 10+

There will be a version of Forum Access for D10, but it will not be backwards compatible, which means it will need to get its own branch. If you want to see this, then help with testing FA (and ACL) for D8/9.
