    I only want the Admins to be able to “Add new topic” so if I set “Permitted poster roles” to only Administrator, then the Reply link and Leave a Reply field are no longer visible to other Roles. If I set the other Roles to be able to “Add new topic” then the Reply field and Reply link appear. How can I permit Replies under Topics but deny being able to “Add new topic” to all but Admins?

  • Hi Stephen,

    Our current permissions are set on a “poster” level (which includes topics/replies) and “viewer” level. On the Pro version, it can be set at the board level as well.

    Your request is a use case for user permissions that has not been requested by any of our users yet, but I will now add it to our feature list to be worked on in an upcoming version.

    For now, I’d recommend hiding the “new topic” page. That way, no one will find it in the navigation etc and should prevent users from posting. You can also set topics to be moderated, so that no new posts get created and slip through the cracks in case someone does find the new topic page. Lastly, you could also make this page a private page, so only you can access it.

    Hope this helps!
    Matt
