Difficulty of Tiered-access forum

I want to create a Discourse forum where different users have different forum access (based on a value in a database somewhere). Do you know any implementations of this? If not, then how hard do you think it would be to modify?
Thanks!

Have you considered using groups (collections of users) and categories (collections of topics)?

Have a look at How to use category security settings to control access to content for details about setting this up with groups and categories.

To sync the vales between the “database somewhere” and Discourse you can create a simple web service which implements our SSO API
