There's no need for passwords/logins on a Nabble forum if it is already hidden within a password protected site, so co-ordination need not be an issue. Just make sure the forum is both embedded and the option to Redirect to your site is set and then you could keep the Nabble defaults of allowing "Anyone" to "View", "Create_topic" and "Reply". Your main site will provide the privacy you need.

The only disadvantage is that, with the default settings, each time a user posts they could choose a different name for themselves, so it might be wise to restrict the "Create_topic" and "Reply" permissions to "Registered" users, so their identity would remain constant - however, then it will be possible for someone to change their id details on your main site, without changing their registered address on Nabble. I can see no way of co-ordinating that without compromising the user's security on Nabble or the security of your main site. The best that could be done is a reminder of the need to update their Nabble settings any time a user changes id on your main site.
