Setting up permissions & Groups

Have 7.6 with 3.0 patch Site http://ultimateserveradmins.com

I have tried to set up a Thread for Executive Admin & another for Senior Admin which should only be visible to that respective group. When I do this all Admin can see the thread and post to them, the Basic Members however can not see the threads. The highest level group I have available is Executive Administrator, but when I place them in the view by block all Admin can see and post to either thread. How do I make these threads Private. In looking thru the PHPbb I feel that maybe I do not have the correct groups set up or maybe I don't understand how to separate the groups correctly. I do not have very much experience with PHP Nuke or PHPbb so if someone can help me with this I will need detailed instruction on how to fix this Issue. I have not changed any of this since we moved the site to a new provider, still using the old database. I was told they could not do this before in the old site so I am making an assumption that there is a group setup problem or permissions Issue that still exists.

There is a difference between forums administrators (groups) and Nuke administrators. A nuke administrator with access to the forums will be able to see everything.

Unless you have NSN Groups installed, blocks can only be controlled by public, members and admins. With NSN Groups, you can set blocks visible to groups, which are the same as forum groups. The block itself must also respect private forums.

Thank you very much for your reply. As I stated earlier I have very little experience with PHPbb or PHP NUKE. I do understand what you are saying but not were to look to see if this is done in the site it self. If you could give a little more direction It would be greatly appreciated.
