Hi James,

From what I understand, you don't need to change permissions (access rights). All you have to change is the read-only property of your blog and subcategories. This can be done by clicking on "Options > Restrict new topics & subcategories". With this configuration enabled, only the owners of the blog or subcategory can start new topics, but everybody can reply to them. This option should be set in each subcategory individually (this property isn't inherited).

Note that when you set this option, the "New Post" link isn't displayed. But you can click on "Options > Structure > Create new topic" for that. We are improving this interface and it should be ready in the next days.

Please let me know if this works for your group.
