How to restrict anonymous users from posting in specific categories in Discourse?

Okay so The Anonymous user group are also full users.

In that case you need to create a Group for your non anonymous users.

Trust Levels are shared among all members where as custom groups are a list of members only

Category Setting

Security

  • +Anonymous Grp See
  • (del)Everyone See/create/reply
  • +NonAnon Grp See/create/reply

Also delete setting if you used a “trust_level_#” group. If the member is part of any group that can create/reply they will have ability to do so even if part of group(s) that do not have the per.issions
