Separate logins for forums and nuke site

I am not sure if this is a security issue but . . .
Is it possible to setup a separate login for forums and my nuke site? I noticed that if I log on to the website as the admin then go to the forums I have to log in as a user. Not really a bother but that got me thinking that maybe I could allow people to use the the forums without access to content that I would like reserved for a full user. Two separate logins: full user and forums.

I figured out how to create user groups in phpbb to control access to forums but I can't see the same thing with phpNuke.

I have Nuke 8 up to date with patches, Nuke Sentinel, Approve Membership and Nuke Tools.

You could have group permissions using NSN Groups.

If you really want seperate logins, you can install a standalone phpBB - http://www.phpbb.com

NSN Groups? Is that a module or block add on?

Could I run two separate installs of phpbb: one for my Nuke site and the other as a stand alone? Sounds like a hassle but it may have to do.

phpBB is already built into phpNuke, no additional installs needed. You can install phpBB standalone as many times as you want

That sounds like a good option. But how about NSN Groups? What is it? I couldn't find a good description. Does this allow different levels of access to my site?

Thanks.

It allows different usergroups to have permissions to different Nuke modules. Its available at http://www.nukescripts.net
