'Category Privileges' does not seem to work

assamese

Please look at my category privileges settings -

But,

Registered users are able to create new Topics !
but, they are not able to see the Posts under the Topics !!

What gives ?

If it is not behaves what you've chosen the access category checkbox?

I want the registered-users and Guests to access the Category/Topics. I want registered-users to be able to reply to the Posts in this Category.
But I do not want them to be able to create new Topics in this Category.
So, I think the Settings are correct, no ?

Your settings are correct but if you are checking the category as an administrator user you will get all privileges, try testing with a regular user.

I AM testing as a 'Regular' user

I can confirm that the "Access Topics" privilege is not functioning correctly, so will need to look into that.

However, with "Create Topics" disabled, the "New Topic" button is not present, and the category itself is not present in the composer dropdown, so that privilege is working as intended.

If a user does not have the "topics:create" privilege in a category, they are denied read access to topics in that category · Issue #4753 · NodeBB/NodeBB

Fixed in latest master, the labels were swapped, so "Access" was actually controlling "Create", and vice versa.
