Permissions

One user permission lives under News Aggregator at AdminCP > Groups & permissions > Permissions.

PermissionDefaultEffect
View news feedAllowLets the visitor see the public news page (/news/), the global ticker, and any news widget. When revoked, all three surfaces are hidden for that visitor.

Hiding news from guests

To gate news behind log-in, set View news feed to Never for the Unregistered / Unconfirmed group. The route still routes — guests get a permission-denied page or a log-in prompt — but the ticker and widget are not rendered for them.

Per-source restrictions

The permission is global. There is no per-source view permission. To hide a single source from a particular group, disable the source globally or move it out of the ticker's source filter; per-group source visibility is not supported.
