            <description><![CDATA[ Short answer is yes.<br />
<br />
(Not guaranteed, so test on a local machine, with dummy users, and dummy moderators.)<br />
You may need to create the folder first, so you can put the new forum in it.<br />
<br />
Phorum Admin / Create Forum<br />
Create the forum, remove permissions for public and registered users.<br />
<br />
Phorum Admin / Edit Group<br />
Create a group.<br />
Assign permissions to the group for the forum you choose to add in the drop down list.<br />
<br />
Phorum Admin / Edit Users<br />
Locate the member that is a moderator. <br />
Click on their display name. At the bottom of the page that appears, you can add them to a group.<br />
Admins will be able to interact with the forum in any case.<br />
<br />
Unless it has been fixed, you must have 0, or 2+ groups else the admin user search does not work.<br />
<br />
Test with your dummy users, to see what may be seen.<br />
1  public (not a member)<br />
1 registered member not logged in<br />
1 registered member logged in<br />
1 registered member who is a moderator<br />
1 admin<br />
<br />
Disable or delete dummy users when finished testing.]]></description>
