Does this plugin exist?

We do all our company’s support in public, but I’m trying to set up an additional support category for a “VIP” group of customers that don’t want their posts shown in public, including to other VIP’s in the group.

I could just set up a `VIP-Support` group and allow PMs, but if the group name was made public non-VIPs would gain access, and of course we can’t have that 🙄

Any ideas?

Group PMs is the way you do this

You can make groups visible and messagable only to group members. So just don’t make the group name public?

It would be interesting to have a category that would also archive. Sort of like a Leader sort of Lounge. Like the Regular lounge but for Leaders.

If you want a lounge for leaders, then you make a category that is available only to leaders, just like lounge. Right?

If the VIPs were in the same group as staff, it would break this, no?
