Hey guys, me again! 🙂

Can we allow specific groups to create a topic in certain categories? Let’s say there is a group “x” that is not a moderator, and I want to give this “x” group the authority to create topics in the “xx” category. I don’t want anyone other than the mods and this “x” group to create topics in this category.

Is this possible? I’ve looked through the settings but couldn’t find it.

Thanks in advance!

You can allow moderators and members of group x to create (and reply) per category
