I’ve been reading many topics on this issue, and have a use case where the ability to exclude a group from access (e.g. to a category) would be most useful, in this fashion: > [@New category permission - "cannot see"/"exclude"](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-category-permission-cannot-see-exclude/50044/29): > > Indeed, the order will matter Since all sites are currently like yours, it might be that the solution is to have two steps / sections … the first is the INCLUSION (which is the current context, so even if the change is made nothing is affected) where you build up a total population to view this, then a second step below would be the EXCLUSION which would remove a portion of those that matched certain criteria. The use case is a Discourse instance dedicated to a fan community (for a multi-book & multi-season TV production) where ‘spoilers’ are an issue; members would like the ability to opt-out of seeing topics belonging to categories that are likely to contain spoilers. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/everyone-permissions-see-permissions/101613)._
