XF 2.3 Configure a forum to only allow the automated RM threads to be created in it?

[Kevin]

Flip a coin if this is a XF or XFRM support question.

XFRM allows the option of creating a discussion thread when a new resource is added. I am doing that for a few different XFRM categories and all of the discussion threads are going into the same forum.

What is the proper way of setting the permissions on that XF forum to not allow any threads to be created in it except for the XFRM discussion threads that are related to resources?

Set the forum permission for post new thread to no for the Registered user group.

Would that still allow them to create a resource though in XFRM and have the corresponding discussion thread created since it gets posted from their account?

I see I have an experiment to do, thanks.

Yes, the automated thread will still post as the permission check doesn't apply.

Ah, perfect, thank you!
