I am creating a forum for a team, so we can discuss strategies outside of practice. I need to password protect the forum so only members of the team can get on (to prevent spies from other teams getting on). I've looked at many sections, but I can't find anything. I'm not very good at scripting, so that's out of the question. Please help. This is very urgent.

Users & groups>Users Options
New accounts activation : Admin

This way only admin can activate a user.

Another work around,
