We have a private forum at the moment where only users that have registered on our website can then log in (through SSO) to access the forum.

However, we’d like to make the forum semi-private. I would like for anyone (public) to be able to read posts on the forum, but they should have a registered account to post (private). How do I do about doing this?

I’ve been Googling for an hour and can’t find anything helpful. ☹
