  3. Do one of the following:
    • Create a new category
    • Select an existing category
  4. Scroll down to Access & Monetization and choose Selected Members.  
  5. Click Add next to the relevant option:
    • Members: Select the members that you want to give access to your category. 
    • Roles: Once you’ve created a role, you can give members with the same role access to this category.
    • Badges: Once you've created a badge, you can give members that have that badge, access to this category. 
    • Subscriptions: By adding a plan to the category, only members that have access to the plan, can access the category.
