My blog website is based on WordPress and the commenting is currently powered by Disqus platform.

I do plan to start a community based on Discourse and I am wondering if it is possible to change the commenting in such a way that only registered community members are able to comment on a story and what would that entail?

Essentially, in order to comment under a blog post, people would require a registered account with Discourse forum installation.

Thanks for any feedback or ideas I can get.
