Is it true that there is still no way to hide the memberlist from various groups?

I found this thread from a few years ago, vb 5.2.1:

https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/foru...29#post4339329


The following hack prevents unregistered/not-logged in people from accessing the memberlist:

Put in a PHP module at the top of the page:

/* This stops unregistered/not-logged in users from accessing
the memberlist, even if there is no link but they know the url */
if (vB5_User::get('usergroupid') == 1)
{
    die('No Permission');
} 

Or has this been fixed in a later version and I just don't know it?

I mean, even if you hide the Memberlist link so there's no way to click on it, if you know the URL you can view it:

(example) https://mysite.com/vb/memberlist

This hack, while it works, is kinda ugly...

It's still the same, there are no permissions on the member list. It's not a bug as such, that's how it was written.

Seems like it would be a simple thing to have a Group Permissions setting for that.

Actually all modules have permissions today. You can edit the Member List module and edit the permissions to show the content to specific groups. If someone without permission views the page they won't see the content. You can also edit the Navigation by editing it in Site Builder and editing the Permissions for that specific Navigation Link.

Adding permission for individual pages is still an open feature request.

Excellent! Thank you for that! Did not really think of doing it that way, much better than the php hack above.

You could even put a static html module on the page that shows only to the groups without permission so you can display a message. Or use a Notice. You should be able to select multiple groups in the Notices interface now.

Ok, yes, this is beautiful. I have to realign my thinking, give me a few moments.
