I'm running JBoss Forums "out of the box" and I have logged in as 'user'. When I select "New Topics" I'm presented with a UI form that has 'Options' to post topic of 'normal', 'sticky', or 'announcement'. Is there a way to restrict the 'user' to post 'Options' of just 'normal' ?

I have reviewed the documentation, this forum, and configuration files. However, I'm unable to find anything that address the ability to configure 'Options' under 'New Topic'.

Could you please advise....

Hello

Your feature request has been added to codebase of 1.0.1 release and will be available with this release.

I added:

<resource type="fragment" criteriaId="topicType://ui" >
 <id>acl://topicType</id>
 </resource>

in acl-mapping.xml file and you can now create security criterias with the declared id.

Regards
