Categories 456: 🔒

- trust\_level\_2: full

- staff: full

Categories VIP: 🔒

- vip\_b: full
- vip\_a: full
- staff: full

vip\_a Muted Categories: 123

With this setup, vip\_a users are not prevented from seeing the 123 categories if they are linked to them or search them out, but they will not show up on the homepage. “Everyone” really does mean everyone - they could just log out, after all.
