Hi,

Sorry if this option is somewhere in the settings of WPforo but I couldn't find it. I'm looking to create a category with a few sub forums that are visible to visitors (i.e. they can see these forums exit) but not accessible (they can't enter them to read topics). Right now "no access" makes the forums invisible while "read only" makes them readable, so not exactly what I'm looking for.

The idea is for visitors to see what forums are available but not be able to see topics without becoming a subscriber or customer.

Is it possible?

Dashboard > wpForo > Accesses > Read only Access (Guest) > Can view topic

@tutrix Thanks a lot, I was a bit confused with accesses vs usergroups, but now it all makes sense!
