we are running a strictly closed forum for a team, not a public forum. Now we would like to be able to invite “outsiders” to collaborate with us on certain topics (or maybe a whole category) without giving them access to the rest of the forums.
Is there an easy way to do this? Can someone be invited to a topic and then only see that topic and nothing else?
Giving access to a category is easy, I know how I would have to do that, but it’s not exactly what I am looking for.
While having a closed forum (invite only, no registration), is it still possible to have a public section that’s visible to any visitor? Say I want a public Wiki section where we post FAQs for customers while keeping the rest of the forum private?
So I couldn’t set up a category and change it’s security setting to allow “everyone” read permissions? Everyone in that case would mean every registered user? No anonymous access possible?
We already have all categories set up in a way that they are only accessible to certain groups.
If we disable “loin required” that would open up the forum for anonymous access then? And those users would see everything that is not locked down to specific group access?
