I will quote my own post. The TOS is in the “staff” category. We can’t set/edit security for the staff category. Your method will work for any other category created by the admin. But discourse does not allow to set security for the default staff category.

> The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are currently in the default “Staff” category, so I can’t adjust who can create, etc.

Not quite sure. It’s possible I did it. However still my main concern is there → To restrict anyone else to edit the legal documents.
