I haven’t had a look at developing a Discourse plugin yet, but I can work on a plugin that uses [Signed Cookies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/private-content-signed-cookies.html) to ensure that content can only be viewed by users of the forum. I’ll see what I can do.
