Make groups invisible to the public

[nathank (Nathan Kershaw)]

@sam, what do you think about this (having groups able to be visible to all signed in users but not the public) as a suggested change?

[sam (Sam Saffron)]

Maybe for now just do it with CSS? Use CSS rules to suppress it from the places where it shows up for anon. There is a top level anon class on the document.

Thanks Sam, that would work nicely for the appropriate display of groups to users.

However, won’t it mean that the data is still exposed in the HTML?

[sam (Sam Saffron)]

Yes, that is the downside of using CSS to hide things, in practice though I doubt this should cause much of a problem.

To close this topic out, a visibility option for “Logged on users” was added a couple of years ago.
