There was a feature request:

> [@Hide staff tags from non-staff users](https://meta.discourse.org/t/hide-staff-tags-from-non-staff-users/44025):
>
> When logged in as a non-staff user, I can still see a staff-only tag in the dropdown when creating a topic. Is this able to be hidden, so only staff members can see the staff tag in the dropdown? Thanks

But in our case, we want to hide those tags completely anywhere on the website.

E.G. we tag a few topics “to-be-promoted-next-week”. General users shouldn’t see it.

> I’d like to create hidden collections of topics for internal use, then run queries in [data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566) with using these collections. For this to happen, I’ll need internal use only tags, which are not visible to the public. Is it possible in Discourse?

It is already discussed above.

> Hi there, Is it possible to set tags so that only certain users (e.g. admins, staff) can see it? If not, what would be the best way to achieve it? Thanks in advance! rofl

Thank you!
