Category Permissions

Hey, this is my first post in the community. I'm really interested in Vanilla. It's very clean and simple compared to other major forum software, and I love that. It also seems really extensible, and that's a definite plus for me. Anyway, one thing I thought it was lacking compared to other forums was category permissions.. For example, only letting Administrators create new discussions in a certain category, so that ordinary members can only add comments. I was unable to find an extension or setting for this, so I was wondering if it was possible to create one? Thanks, and I appreciate all you extension authors :)

    Yeah, I'm looking for a categories permissions plugin too: My main need is wanting to set a required x amount of posts before users can post in a certain category (ie, Marketplace)

    "For example, only letting Administrators create new discussions in a certain category, so that ordinary members can only add comments" As discussed before. You could create admin-only category where they could read and discuss. But others would not see it. So far, so good. It's not 100% what you expected but it's something.

    Just give them the permission in the 'Roles & Permissions' settings.
