I’d like to make a forum category that is viewable by everyone but only a select group can post/respond to, how would I go about doing that? Cheers

Edit the Category, go to Security Tab, remove the first permission entry that grants everyone create/reply/see, add everyone as see, then add group as create/reply/see
