I run a small private forum for architects, but would like to add an area accessible to the public, that the architect users can monitor, where laypeople can ask questions or contribute their own perspectives to discussions that are made open to the public. The idea is that members of the public se…

Hello :wave: I think the most of these available with: groups, categories permission, custom user fields and automation. To separate users on signup use Discourse Authentication Validations chaining user fields function. So you can show separate user fields depends on what they choose on the first…

Thanks @Don - some great things to investigate!

Looking at the Discourse Automation plugin, for some reason there seems to be nowhere to actually nominate which group affected new users are assigned to. <a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/2/c/e/2ce57b7799fe8f1481054b4be0295d70d0a575c9.png" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/6paFG7aGnfMUZ6VSEoLCNnuy9qF.png?dl=1" title="The image shows a screenshot of a webpage with a title, "Automation", and several fields for inputting information, likely for creating a new automation rule on a forum.
