Guests & Regular Members Visible Board

The relationship between "permissions" and groups is apparently too difficult for me to understand.   
 
Simply put, what do I need to change to show guests & "regular" members only the boards that I want them to see? 
 
Our site is paid membership and I only want guests and unpaid members to see a very limited set of boards.
Any questions I post are related to 2.0.8.  Thank you all for any help you give me, truly a great community on here!

Since they brought in "Permissions profiles", this sort of thing does my head in, too.

Have a look at this, to see if you can make any sense of it.

Board visibility is nothing to do with permissions.

You configure which groups can see a board from the board's configuration area.

For boards that only premium members should see, untick all the others.

k@ - once again, you have confused board permissions with board visibility...

the link you gave is to board/permission profiles and has nothing at all to do with whether a group can or can not see the board in the first place.


what the OP needs is:
http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/SMF2.0:Boards

Allowed Groups - All the groups which are allowed to view the board.
