Sub-Forums for Members and Administrators

Admin Goliath
I would like to create one Sub-Forum for Members and another Sub-Forum for Administors. But I can only
choose:

Who can view?
o  Everyone
o  Members

Why is it not possible to add administators to this list? As example... In this case I canno't have members in my board and a sub-forum only for adminstrators. Because members can also read the Aministrator Sub-Forum.

Of course registered persons should not read this.

Or is there another trick??

We will simplify this configuration soon. But while you wait, let me explain the solution at this point. Each sub-forum has its own list of members. So the sub-forum for administrators should be set to "only members can view" and then you should add "administrators" to the list of members. Basically, when someone tries to open that sub-forum, the system will check if that person is in the current list of members (the list of the sub-forum, not the parent one) and decide whether he/she can proceed or not.

Soon the permission system will be standard: we will have users and groups. Users can be added to groups and the administrators can decide what each group can do.
