       How can I disable registrations?

       I need to make my forum PRIVATE, in other words only ADMIN can
       register users entering their data. After that they MAY receive
       a confirmation/activation email.
       My board has 3 forums, One can be seen by ALL registered
       members, The other two depends on GROUP MEMBERSHIP. That is how
       I configured the forum.
       In the setings I DISABLED registration with social accounts. I
       think there was a setting for disabling registrations but that
       is NOT working. I just registered to my forum with another
       account. First I was surprised that the Registration link was
       present. I thought maybe it would give a message at the end but
       WRONG! not only was I able to register, with my new credentials
       that did not belong to any of the two member groups (just
       default), I was able to VIEW and EXPLORE ALL the subforums of my
       site even though the new user had not been assigned to the
       special member groups.
       This is my forum:
       Board #1: General Discussion
       Board #2: Owners
       Board #3: Administering Commitee
       All users registered by ADMIN should be able to participate in
       Board #1 as they belong to the general/default permissions.
       Users that have been assigned to the Owners member group, should
       have access to Board #1 and #2.
       Users that have been assigned to Administering Commitee should
       have access to Board #1 and #3 and possibly #2 if they are also
       members of the Owners member group.
       That is how I configured the forum. Yet, with the new user
       (anyone from internet) that has default permissions, I was able
       to apparently get permissions of ALL member groups!

       Admin -> Settings
       "Method of registration employed for new members"
       Admin approval to require admins to approve.
