To Setup the Forum as Private, where new Users have to be approved by admin you need to follow that Guide on how to Setup...

- Go to Admin -> Users and Roles -> Roles, create an "Unapproved" role in YAF. Assign the "Is Start" flag to that role, and the the Access Mask for all Forums needs to be set to "No Access"
- Rename the "Registered" Role to "Approved" and remove the "Is Start" flag.
- To make sure the admin knows when a new User needs approval enable Email Notifications, go To Admin -> Board Settings -> and enter an email address in the "Send Email Notification On User Register to Emails" field.
- Additionally if you want the whole forum to be only viewable after login You need to enable the Option "Require User Login" in the Host Settings -> Login/Registration Settings
