There is a setting - `Require moderator approval of all new topics` - that ensures that all new topics in a particular category need to be approved by a moderator.

But how can I ensure that Admin approval is required for all new topics?

I saw the post - [Require approval for all new topics](https://meta.discourse.org/t/require-approval-for-all-new-topics/102798) - but I don’t want to apply this restriction throughout the Community. I want it only on one particular category of the Community.

Hey @osioke thanks for your reply. I want to know if there is some way I can take it one step higher:

Do you know how I can do that?

unfortunately, there is no functionality to only have admin approve it.

Read through the post I shared, maybe site wide approval might be what you are looking for?

Site owners can choose to have the first `x` topics or posts by a user require approval (the `approve post count` site setting), that all topics/posts by users who have not reached a certain trust level require approval ( `approve unless trust level` ), or that new topics (but not posts/replies) by users who have not reached a certain trust level require approval ( `approve new topics unless trust level` ).

There is only very limited support for restricting reviewables to a certain group of people, and I believe that staff (moderator+admin) can always handle all of them.
