Modal dialog with fixed header and footer and scrollable content

I'm trying to create a modal dialog that has an fixed header and footer and that the content (in this case list of users) inside the modal dialog is scrollable...

My best attempt so far gave me the result on the image:

my best

I assume that after seeing the image I dont have to describe what the problem is... and I also assume that you will know what the solution has to look like... :)

But just to be sure I'll write it anyway... The modal dialog needs to have a fixed header (Area where the title "Edit board" "Board name" and "Board type" are located) and footer (Area where the "SAVE" button is located) haveto be fixed/unscrolable... the only thing that has to be scrollable is the list of users...

CODE:

Html:

<div id="addBoardModal" class="modal modal-fixed-footer">
    <form class="Boards_new" autocomplete="off">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h5>{{title}}</h5>
        <div class="input-field">
           <!--INPUT FORM-->
        <div class="BoadType">
           <!--RADIAL BUTTON THING--> 
      <div class="modal-content">
            <div class="shareMembers" style="margin-top:18px;">
                <div class="row">
                    <h5 class="left">Share</h5>
                      <!--LIST OF USERS !!!THIS HAS TO BE SCROLLABLE!!!-->
                </div>
            </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <!--JSUT THIS SAVE BUTTON-->
      </div>

CSS:

.modal {
  @extend .z-depth-4;
  display: none;
  position: fixed;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  background-color: #fafafa;
  padding: 0;
  max-height: 70%;
  width: 55%;
  margin: auto;
  //overflow-y: auto;
  border-radius: 2px;
  will-change: top, opacity;

     @media #{$medium-and-down} {
       width: 80%; }

  h1,h2,h3,h4 {
    margin-top: 0; }

.modal-header{
  border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); 
  width: 100%; 
  height: 15rem; 
  padding:24px;
}

.modal-header > .input-field{width:100%;}

.modal-content {
  padding: 24px;
  position: absolute; 
  width: 100%; 
  overflow-y: auto; 
  -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
}

.modal-close {cursor: pointer;}

.modal-footer {
  border-radius: 0 0 2px 2px;
  border-top: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
  background-color: #fafafa;
  padding: 4px 6px;
  height: 56px;
  width: 100%;

.btn, .btn-flat {
  float: right;
  margin: 6px 0;
}
}
}

So if anyone could please tell me what am I doing wrong in my code or if I should be doing something diferently that would be nice...

I used these examples to code this...Example no.1 & Example no.2

NOTE: I'm using the Materialize framework

You can try max-height using calc() function, like:

.modal-content {
  height: auto !important;
  max-height: calc(100vh - 340px) !important;
}

Have a look at the snippet below (use full screen):

$(document).ready(function(){
    // the "href" attribute of .modal-trigger must specify the modal ID that wants to be triggered
    $('.modal-trigger').leanModal();
  });
.modal {
  overflow: hidden;
}

.modal-header {
  padding: 15px;
  border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}

.modal-header h4 {
  margin: 0;
}

.modal-content {
  height: auto !important;
  max-height: calc(100vh - 340px) !important;
}

.content-row {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  padding: 10px;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
}

.content-row:last-child {
  border-bottom: none;
}

.icon {
  width: 40px;
  height: 40px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  border-radius: 50%;
  background: #33b5e5;
  color: #fff;
}

.name {
  padding: 0 10px;
}

.role {
  padding: 0 10px;
  flex: 1;
  text-align: right;
}
