Hi there - I’m after a bit of advice about the best way to set up an automated step. We are using a discourse platform as an LMS.

Não, fechar tópicos não é o caminho certo.

Você deve alterar as permissões das categorias para torná-las privadas apenas para a equipe. Veja Como usar as configurações de segurança de categoria para criar categorias privadas.
