We created a new instance of Discourse. It has multiple private categories and just one public category while the product we’re working on is in beta. How do I make sure that for anonymous users there is absolutely no way to list all users through API nor through UI? The only settings I found that…

Depends on what you mean exactly by “exposing” users. Any user that posts in the public category will be public, and then it depends on what percentage of your users will interact in that specific category.

Would it be possible to make it into a feature request? A way to make it impossible to list all users while having some public categories?

Is that because it’s considered futile to hide that data if stuff is understandably exposed in unpredictable amounts from public topic lists in any case?
