We are looking to run a private community using NodeBB but we seem to be unable to lock down things like the user profiles and user list; both the pages and the API endpoints. Is there something I am missing or is it just not possible to user NodeBB to run a private community?

docker run --name my-forum-redis -d -p 6379:6379 nodebb/docker:ubuntu-redis
docker run --name dockerdev-nodebb --link dockerdev-redis:redis -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 4567:4567 -P -t -i nodebb/docker:ubuntu

Defined the wbsite url for the forum as http://forum.mydomain.com:80

Any help would be appreciated.
