Hi guys.

I need to create a special rank just to allow a handful of members to see a certain board and post in it.

The board must be hidden, only those few people can see it.

The ranks are visible under the avatar of each member, but I need this one NOT to be visible.

Is there a way to do so?

Or maybe is it possible to give permissions to a hidden board to just a few people without creating a new special rank?

Thank you! wink

The way to allow a specific sub-group of users to have access to a forum is not through the rankings but through the User Groups and Permissions. Define a new user group for these people. Add them to the new user group and then when you create the forum add that new user group and your preferred permission set to the forum and no others.
