Does CA support specialized permissions for member-only access to answers?

I'd like to set up a QA forum with both free/public categories and paid/member-only categories. It needs to meet the following criteria:

1) Anyone can ask a question in the public categories and anyone can see the full question (question + description), but only registered/logged-in users can view the answers.

2) Only members of a specific ACL group can ask questions in members-only categories but anyone can view the questions. If a non-member wants to view the answer, they would be prompted to register or purchase a subscription.

I see in the features that there is a permission system where you can "Choose which Joomla user group you want to allow viewing, asking or answering questions." However, I haven't been able to find any details as to whether there's the ability to restrict viewing of the answers while allowing everyone to view the questions.

Can this be done?

It support category level permissions for viewing, answering and asking questions. So you can set registered can ask questions and restrict guests from viewing etc.

He can view question+answers when clicked on it. However you can restrict users to view only question list and restrict them to view entire question.
