Hi,

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.

Any ideas? Thoughts?

Thanks 🙂
