Hey everyone, is there a way to limit login to a forum to a certain role like moderators or admins? Background: I’m migrating a bigger forum and while the URL to this forum is unknown to the public I want to limit the login to moderators and admins only while we do test everything after the migrat…

You can make it so the forum is by invitation only until you’re up and running. Then you can change it to accept public registrations once you’re ready. In your Dashboard go to Login and tick the boxes to set it up how you wish. Once you’re ready, go back and make the necessary changes.

This won’t work once users are imported and their accounts activate. A temporary reverse proxy would work with authentication but introduces complexity. Is a DNS name change a possibility? How are you planning to manage downtime?

I totally wasn’t aware that Discourse doesn’t really have any role based capabilities. I had only used it in projects so far where this wasn’t an issue. I thought it whould be possible to limit login through that. @JimPas as @Stephen rightfully said that won’t work for the imported users. DNS Name…

thanks for naming the alternatives, @Stephen . I think base auth would be the most straightforward way. Using local hosts files is a bit cumbersome for the less technical advanced staff members/moderators and IdM/SSO is definitely too much of a hazzle for the hopefully short period of time that is n…

Just to update this one, I believe we have a ‘staff read-only’ mode now. I’m not 100% sure I know how to activate it though. :slight_smile: I can’t seem to find a button in the UI, other than regular ‘read-only for everyone’. :thinking: I’ll have an explore. We have some instructions in a guide n…

为了更新此问题，我认为我们现在有一个“员工只读”模式。但我不太确定如何激活它。除了常规的“对所有人只读”之外，我似乎在用户界面中找不到任何按钮。

我会去探索一下。

我们现在有一个指南中的一些说明：
