I know no procedure. Newsgroups are, by their nature, discussion groups.
I don't know any that don't let anyone post to them.

What you CAN do is to have the newsgroup set up as moderated and have
the address for posts be the mailing list. Then you can use the normal
Listserv controls (eg, Send=Private) to control who can post.
