Making a limited view for non-members/guests?

Please forgive me if this has been covered somewhere else.
I am a physician in Alberta, Canada. With recent government
changes our public healthcare system is under hostile attack.
With relentless pressure and a media campaign designed to
discredit all doctors, our patients are losing their access to
healthcare (and the money is going to corporations to set up
profit healthcare to the exclusion of the medical
establishment). The minister of health has gone so far to now
be personally attacking individual doctors, phoning them in the
middle of the night and even showing up on their doorsteps to
shout obscenities at them and threaten their families. I am not
making this up. And, through legislative attack the ministry
and the premiere have gone about dismantling our regulatory
college and our support association.
In any case, a small group of doctors has formed and is trying
to organize the rest of the doctors into a grassroots movement
to save healthcare and our livelihoods and our patients. I have
started up a forum using create a forum. Once we get a revenue
stream I would love to pay for service enhancements to make it
all work better.
But, to get to my question. Considering the need for privacy,
this forum needs a way to be not completely open to people until
they have joined the forum and proven themselves to be who they
are. At this moment, when you go directly to our forum, you can
see all the activity as a guest. So, no one will be comfortable
discussing anything for fear of personal oppression.
Is there a way to limit the guest view or similar functionality?
Thanks for any attention and answers this gets. If this works
for us then the team that made this will know that they
inadvertently helped 10,000 doctors defend their patient's
healthcare access against hostile attack.

Two we have a private board upgrade one time fee disables guests
from viewing anything on the forum at all.
The second option is you can control permissions of each board
on your forum. Under Admin -> Boards
Edit the board then change which membergroups have access to the
board.

Thank you for your timely and professional help. It is such a
relief to know that someone is there to solve problems for me.
When we get the money together I am going to insist that we
support this platform as much as we can. Whatever it costs, it
will probably be easily worth twice as much.
Thanks again
John

Would you by chance also be able to tell me how to determine the
membergroup ID number. I am setting up the registration
settings and it asks for this number and I cannot find a
reference to this anywhere else. I know 1 is admin. But, it
doesn't seem to be just a case of "Counting the groups" as the
5th membergroup in the listings elsewhere does not correspond
with a membergroup ID of 5

For Regular groups not Post Based Groups
You can find the id by clicking the modiyf link under admin ->
membergroups
Then in the address you will see the group id: example
index.php?action=admin;area=membergroups;sa=edit;group=2
