Good morning (or whatever part of the day it is at your side of the world) I have the below structure; for clarity, ** indicates what should be read-only **Category A Category A1 Category A2 Category A3 Category A4 **Category B **Category B1 Category B11 Category B12 Category B2 Category B3 **Category B4 Category B41 Category B42 **Category C **Category C1 Category C11 **Category D Category D1 Category D2 Category D3 Category D4 I’m trying to prevent users from posting in certain categories; e.g. the main categories. I’ve set the below for one of the main categories but I can still post a new topic in it. [image] Is this because I’m an admin? Or am I missing something? Is everyone a standard user or did I inherit it from the existing forum?

[image] Wim Sturkenboom: Is this because I’m an admin? Yes, it’s because you’re an admin. [image] Wim Sturkenboom: Is everyone a standard user or did I inherit it from the existing forum? Not sure what you mean there.

[image] Richard - Communiteq: Yes, it’s because you’re an admin. Thanks :+1: I’m in the process of adding a normal user for testing purposes. [image] Richard - Communiteq: Not sure what you mean there. Sorry, I should have been more clear. If you look at my screenshot, there is a group (not a user, sorry) called everyone. I would like to know if this group is a standard group, meaning that every discourse forum has this group, or if it’s specific to the forum that I’m working on.

Thanks @RGJ and @Stephen. Issue solved.
