   I have created a category which will be displayed publically to all visitors. When normal visitors (no login required) click onto this category which I will customised to appear in the top menu block, I want it to only display the articles. So when the visitor clicks onto any articles in this category, it will require them to be logged into the site to access these articles.

   Is this possible?

   I already have a number of top-level categories which is public to all visitors but I just want one category that would display articles in a list but will require login in access the articles.

   Thank you

   Have you tried the following?

   Display locked entries
   -- Log on as administrator and go to admin area
   -- Choose Settings menu
   -- Select Knowledgebase
   -- Under the Security/Privacy/Registering section, set the Private Policy to Display entries with a 'locked' sign

   Then, edit the category that you want to force logon for and tick the Private Read option.

   This displays the category and articles with a locked key beside them, rather than hiding them. Users who click onto a locked key article (or category) have to log on to view the category/read the article.

   Regards

   It only works for private categories without any roles assigned.
   Once you assign a role to private category it will get to "hidden" state.

   Thank you Karen and Onesign for this.

   I didn't see this option before and I had spent quite some time trying to figure this out.

   Thank you again for both of your help.
