NodeBB: Privileges for the Announcement channel

[mventures]

Hi,
For my forum, I would like the Announcements channel to have posts only from me (the admin). What privileges do I need to tick and untick?

Clear all of the select boxes. By default, administrators will get all permissions, but anyone else accessing will be view only.

Thanks @phenomlab! If I ever what to reset to the original settings, is that possible after Save?
Also, do you think my idea of restricting the Announcement section is a good idea? Is that what you would’ve done also?

[phenomlab]

@mventures I do the same, so yes, good idea. There’s no reason as to why anyone needs to post there except admins (and perhaps mods)

You can’t “reset” the permissions to default, but you can copy from another category that has the default permissions as shown below

And save.

Shouldn’t users be able to reply and vote on Admin topics though? Maybe, those need to stay ticked and all else unticked?

Up to you really
