permissions - viewing catalog vs. creating order

I want to be sure I understand something about the role permissions for ubercart; I see there is a permission checkbox for "create order" -- does this mean the same thing as "place an order"?

What I need is to let anonymous users browse the catalog, but not place an order, until/unless they become an authenticated user -- way too much spam at my old site, which is why I went to Drupal to try and get a handle on all the miserable spammers out there.

So, to do what I want, I would 1) set the Catalog block to be visible to anonymous users, but 2) leave unchecked the box for 'create order' for anonymous users?

Do I understand this properly or am I way off base?

Thx much,
Andria

Create order permissions is actually for creating orders on the admin side. There's a separate setting in the checkout settings form to turn off anonymous checkout. See this doc page for more info on checkout settings.
