Suggestion: New permissions - allow Topic starter and Group members (eg mod team) to view/reply

[fefrei (Felix Freiberger)]

You can already have this functionality using group inboxes:

New category permission : "Create and see"

I am closing this cause this is now implemented using “group inboxes” You define a group as the people who are allowed to process the topic list and then allow it to accept messages from any user in the forum. Effectively this gives you “create and see” Any user can create a message to the group All members of the group can see the message (and archive if needed)
