We have zero plans for topic based user permissions for the forseeable future, so I suggest you use different software if that is a hard showstopper requirement.

Your options are

  • email into help@example.com which automatically creates a PM to the @help group in Discourse, and already works today. We use it this way in fact..

or

  1. User starts PM like any other PM
  2. User selects @help group as the target for the PM.
  3. Topic is visible to author only, and the @help group
