I'm looking to create something similar to this site http://www.benjamininternational.com/store/index.html. You can see the parent category, but when you click on the sub-category you much sign in first. I'm thinking this can be done with the Availability Groups http://docs.miva.com/reference-guide...ability-groups but I wanted to make sure I'm on track

Just checking if logged in should do it too (checking for customer id). If you use availability groups then you would have to built the category tree/topnave using an RT items.Andreas Toman

Check out my tag line! "Keeping you on Track!"
Yes, on the right track I think. Assign the customer to the availability group. Assign the category to the same availability group. That category is protected and only those customers assigned can view this category.
Oops...didn't see Andreas response -- what he said. Present the login if there isn't a customer id.
Just take this further, If there is an id, but no subcat render, you might need to check if customer in the group (to verify) and then present some message or other content to inform the customer they aren't in the group yet.

Availability groups would simply hide the sub cats so you would never see them (unless you were signed in and apart of that group). You're better off using a custom category field to set which categories must be signed in for, then in template code when someone clicks on any category you would read in that field and determine whether to show the login screen or the category product list.
You would also leverage an alternate page display instead of custom category fields to the same effect.
