I don't know if this is the right section but here is my issue

I setup a private section on my forum. I blocked all members except for those who were given permission to see it which is 2 usergroups, myself and the other usergroup. Went through all the forum permissions and they are all showing no view and private.

I found out that there are members of other user groups "Premium Members" who are able to view this section even though their usergroup is set for no viewing.

I created a test account and made it the same permission...says no view. I look at the individual account and their permissions are showing "yes" to view even though their usergroup is set for no.

Why would this happen? I'm so lost right now.

While its tough to say offhand, check out if the individuals are not masked to see the forums
vbulletin admincp>user options>access masks.
check the concerned forum and see if some users are not set for masks.
