Dynamic forum permissions

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

My users access Drupal through SSO and everytime the server authorizes them, it returns a set of permissions, according to which I need to dynamically set the User's forum permissions.

So for example if a User logs in and the SSO says that he has enrolled in a course, I need to give him specific permissions for that course's forum.

Obviously I need a custom module for that, but it's a little hard to start.

I'm thinking of using the ACL module's API, but I can find any documentation or tutorial online. Is there any?

Is there a better way to get around this?

I'd appreciate any help :)
