Member Groups and Secure Conversations

Are you planning to add any features to allow managers to organize users into member groups and then make certain parts of the group (e.g. discussions, files and madia, etc...) only accessible to those member groups?

FuseTalk has a similar feature called Secure Conversations
Within a forum, you can have any number of categories, and each of these categories can have different access rights. Categories can be created with full permissions, read only, reply only, locked, password protected and more. Locked categories are especially important as they allow Forum Administrators to create a category and only have a certain group of users access it.
