Hello

Making the suggestion that a new Category Permission be added call **Display**. This will allow Admins to display the Category but prevent the topics from being seen.

A Use case for me is to display all Categories on the home pages for visitors but they can’t see the Topics. When they click on a Category, the Sign Up page is shown.

This new Permission could enhance the **Gated Topics in Category** theme component ([https://meta.discourse.org/t/gated-topics-in-category/225454](https://meta.discourse.org/t/gated-topics-in-category/225454) by giving control at both the Topic and Category level. May have to change the Theme name to Gated Categories/Topics

Regards
