Category highlight/banner/widget for under-privileged users (community.nodebb.org)

I was wondering if there's any functionality available that could show a highlighted (perhaps pop-over) message or a banner or something when a user goes in to a category that they have read access to, but not posting privileges to.

I would like to have a category that's read only to everyone by default, unless you've been added to a particular group, and I need something displayed that would indicate to the user that they're not able to post until they've done the process.

Is there anything available that helps in these scenarios beyond a pinned post?

You can put an html widget on that category and hide it from the group that has posting privileges.
