@pfaffman This does not answer my question. It only repeats what I already found in the existing thread.
Do the read permissions include reactions, so everyone can for example like posts?
Also, I am not clear how to set up the payment/subscription plug-in. When we purchase the managed forum do we get a dedicated person to do the first configuration?
Yes, if a category is read only for certain groups, then they can still like and bookmark posts.
Since you said it’s a developers community, what kind of paid members are they?
Are they already paying for your product or is this really a separate subscription?
It is a separate subscription to help us pay the costs for hosting the forum and others.
I do not find it intuitive to set up the subscription plug-in. Therefore, I am hoping that when we purchase the $100/month discourse managed forum , we would get someone to help us setup our forum.
I’d suggest removing the ‘solution’ status from the above post. It showing as solved in the list of topics will cause fewer people to look at a topic in which you’re still asking questions.
Thank you, everyone. I will make a new thread if needed. This original question was solved - User group everyone with only read access can still react to posts.
