Option to make posts invisible to anonymous readers

[raejae]

It would be appreciated if a way was added to make posts unreadable by people who are not registered users and/or have a certain privilege set. I haven't followed development in awhile, but if user levels still exist this would be a good way to handle it.

Sounds like a plugin feature to me, everything could be handled by a plugin. One filter on posts_where to hide if the user isn't logged in or doesn't have caps, and a few modifications to the write page to handle the new post status, and just make up your own post status in the database.

I wrote a plugin that did this a while ago - I believe it was posted on the forums by the person I wrote it for, so do a quick search there.

This is plugin teritory, as stated by masquerade and robmiller.
