Topic: Category Permissions

How do I make it to where certain categories or topics are only visible to users who are assigned to a certain group? I.E:

Test Category: Assigned to Admins only
- Only visible by admins. Users who are not admin cannot see this category.
- Only visible when the user is logged in.

Test Category 2: Assigned to Moderators only
- Only visible by moderators. Users who are not moderators cannot see this category.
- Only visible when the user is logged in.

Re: Category Permissions

Your 1st question is set in Administration/Settings/Forums, thus setting access for forums not Categories, although creating a new forum for an existing category will inherit the permission and can later be overridden.
Your 2nd question, same as above.
- to this comes that an administrator sees everything including the moderators.

The "common" question, since its' not "normal" user nor guests, there will only show up when logged in.

To try these, create a "normal" user and login and check visible forums, also check them when not logged in, thus being a guest.
