[1] The free Groups Forums Restricted plugin restricts access to all topics so that only members of the Registered group can see them. Groups itself can be used to protect the page/s where the forums are shown.

If any other form of protected topics/forums (hidden from public viewing) is a feature that would be welcome, please drop a note there. Currently you can protect topics individually using the access restrictions provided by Groups, or protect them all by using the additional plugin.
