How to Allow Everyone to Read a Forum Category while Restricting Posting and Commenting Privileges to Subscribers Only

Hi Andrew,

I appreciate your response, but I am still finding the process confusing.
For instance, I want only logged-in members to be able to view the content but not post or comment.

While I can manage the permissions for logged-in members to only view the content, I am unable to give access to some members to post and I am unable to restrict commenting for all posts at once, and it seems like I need to disable commenting individually for each post.

Finally what I am looking for

  1. Selected members only can post, No payment
  2. logged-in members to only view
  3. Post owners only can comment

Please help
