How can I make all of my Forum's content accessible only to logged members?

Hi, y'all!

I'm new here, so greeting to everyone :))

I'm thinking of using NodeBB as a forum for a closed community of start-up founders.

Only fellows of this community should be able to access the content of the forum.

So far, I thought of disabling new users' registration and importing all the fellow's credentials via CSV/API.

I would also need to block unlogged users from seeing the forum content as well.

Is this possible without the need to write a custom plugin?

Indeed! You can do this by removing the relevant privileges from the guests user group. By default guests can view all content but not post. You need to do this for every category, or otherwise inherit settings from another category when creating a new category.

Great, tks!
