Hey everyone,
I am wondering how can I hide the fixed topics in categories page and show them only for a specific group of users?
AI-generated summary
A discussion about hiding pinned topics from specific user groups. Thamer wants to show pinned topics only to admins and a specific group, not to all users. ondrej suggests unpinning or unlisting the topic, but Thamer clarifies his intention to restrict visibility by group. ondrej explains that creating a group with permissions to see a specific category is a possible solution, pointing to meta discourse documentation. david adds that permissions only work at the category level, not per-topic, and suggests alternatives like group PMs or a separate secure category. Thamer thanks both for their input and decides to explore alternative solutions.
I’m not sure what you mean by ‘fixed topics in categories page’. Can you share a screenshot?
Hey @david thanks for your reply.
What I mean by fixed topics are these ones (maybe I did a mistake misspelling pinned topics by fixed)
Hello,
You can unpin or unlist the topic. This can be done via the admin wrench 
.
But the thing is that I want this pinned topic to be shown only for a specif user group. In my case only admins and a specif group should be allowed to see that pinned topic (for reference)
I missed this part. You can create a group that has permissions to see that group. Only users in that group can see that category.
Permissions are only supported at the category level - you can’t restrict things on a per-topic basis. I would suggest either using a group PM, or a separate secure category for ‘staff reference’ topics as @ondrej described.
Thank you both for all information shared. I was thinking about a different feature but as you mentioned it is better if I work on a different alternative.
Cheers!!
