Hello, I have created a private category accessible only to members of a group, but I would like this category to be visible to everyone, that is to say even to members who do not belong to this group. How do I do it? Thanks Yann

Open settings of that category and then security. You should allow reading to everyone and starting topics and answering to that group.

Thanks for your response. That’s what I did, but the category is not displayed on the forum if the person is not in the group related to this category [Capture d’écran 2023-02-14 à 11.20.37] my category “test access” is not displayed

Can you take screenshot of security settings of that category? (I slide this to #support …)

This might be what you are looking for? [image] Category Previews Theme component This component will allow you to add “category previews” to your categories page so users are able to see that a category exists without having access to the actual category. The preview looks like a standard category, but can link to a specified page where a user can be educated on how to gain access.

I’m guessing livres is books in english, and it is name of a group. You are now allowing reading and answering to group livres, nothing else.

Yes, but it doesn’t work for me. I still can’t make a category visible to everyone and block it if someone is not in the associated group

As we all have to do. That’s why we have security settings there. You must set them as you want, category after category.

I suggest posting on that topic. That’s what that component is meant to do.

Thanks Jakke, but that’s not what I’m looking for. I want to make all my categories visible to everyone, but restrict access to some.
