hi @anilguven welcome to Meta 👋

you can create a group for bug reporters and then use the security settings in the category you wish to secure to allow only that group and admins to access (or staff if you want mods to have access).

admin - groups - +new group

in the category page for the category you want to secure, click the wrench icon at the top right and you can access the particular category settings, including security. you should be able to add the new group there with the permissions you want.
