Forum part of larger site – how to restrict access to the forum only?

#1 · February 12, 2021, 11:03 pm

Hi,

My forum is part of a larger site. In order for users to post to the forum, they need to be “Authors”. But I don’t want users to be able to use their Author privileges on the rest of the site. Is there a work-around for this?

Hey @rtfm,

you could assign this users to a usergroup and restrict the category to it. But then the other users would be not able to read the posts. Is that what you are searching for?
