I like the bbPress plugin because of the Freshness column on the forum page. However I do have a couple of questions.

1. In my current forum/blog I do not allow participants to add topics, they are only allowed to add comments to a topic. Is there a way in which I can only let the key master add a topic and NOT participants?
2. In my current forum/blog all topics are password protected. Is there a way in which I can set a password for the individual topics? (The password would be the same for all topics and all participants know the password.)

Wordpress version: 5.1
bbPress version: 2.5.14

1. install

Private groups

set up a group, then activate topic permissions, and set the forum topic permissions to create/edit replies

2. not sure how this is different from users being registered
