Groups bbPress integrates <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/groups/" rel="ugc">Groups</a> and <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/" rel="ugc">bbPress</a> so that all topics and replies related to protected forums are also protected automatically.
This additional plugin is necessary if you want to run member-only forums with bbPress and Groups. As the topics and replies in bbPress are custom post types, it is not sufficient to protect a forum using Groups. 
The topics and replies in a protected forum would still be accessible unless they are also protected. 
This plugin extends the access restrictions on a forum to its related topics. 
This also applies to replies posted on topics: replies posted on a topic will be accessible to users who can access the topic and the forum only. 
If additional access restrictions are set on a topic, its replies are protected by both the forum’s and the topic’s access restrictions.
<a href="https://www.itthinx.com/shop/groups-forums/" rel="nofollow ugc">Groups Forums</a> is an alternative to using <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/" rel="ugc">bbPress</a> as your forum system with <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/groups/" rel="ugc">Groups</a>.

When a user logs in to WordPress, certain cookies are set in their browser 
which indicate to the server whether the user is logged in on subsequent page 
loads.
bbPress can be set up to have the ability to read the standard cookies created 
by WordPress to check whether a user is logged in and can grant the user 
access to bbPress based on these. The majority of this setup is done in the 
bbPress administration area via the “WordPress integration” settings page, but 
it is also necessary to setup this plugin so that WordPress can set a couple 
of extra cookies which are required.
This plugin is only useful if you are running bbPress version 1.0-alpha-4 or 
later.
<h3>Configuration</h3>
Go to the “bbPress Integration” page in the “Settings” area of the WordPress 
administration area. Here you will need to supply the full URL of your bbPress 
forum.
If your bbPress plugins directory is not in the standard location because you 
have moved it by defining BB_PLUGIN_URL in your bbPress config file, then you 
need to supply that full URL as well. If your plugins directory is in the 
standard location, then you can leave this field blank.
<h3>Versions of this plugin before version 1.0</h3>
The versions of this plugin before the 1.0-alpha-4 version were used to 
synchronize the roles of WordPress registrations with bbPress roles.
This functionality is now handled automatically by bbPress since bbPress 
1.0-alpha-4
If you require the older versions they can be found via the SVN repository in 
the tags directory.
