Hi, I am working for a research entity that provides collaboration tools to researchers or teams to help them working and to stimulate openscience. One of the tools is getting old so I am prospecting new solutions. It is a WordPress website with several buddy* plugins so that it better looks like a collaboration plateform. One of the buddy* plugins is bbPress which provides the ability to manage forums (but in the very old way you know…). In this configuration, members from teams can create public or private forum. I know Discourse as simple user for a while and I like how it works so I wonder if we could use this tool instead. I’ve seen in other topics there is a WP Discourse plugin, but it requires a running instance elsewhere. I have also read we can deal with groups and private categories but as I don’t have any admin account, I can’t experiment this. My question Is it possible to easily manage public and private topics? In particular, is Discourse designed for this purpose or would it be a trick? I would like to have members belonging to groups and only be able to see/create topics within their own group. Any feedback is welcome :slight_smile: PS: please forgive my poor english

[תמונה] tpicouet: Is it possible to easily manage public and private topics? Discourse provides group and category level permissions which is far more useful and flexible as compared to role based permissions. [תמונה] tpicouet: In particular, is Discourse designed for this purpose or would it be a trick? Yes, it is designed to fulfil that purpose. [תמונה] tpicouet: I would like to have members belonging to groups and only be able to see/create topics within their own group. Yes, this can be achieved by using correct group permissions on the required categories.
