I apologize for this question, as it must have been answered before. Just can’t find that answer.
I want to create three groups of people who use my Discourse instance. But I want members of a given group to ONLY see the posts, messages, categories, tags, members, etc., from their own group.
How do I set this up? Or do I need to have a separate Discourse instance for the kind of walled-off group I’m describing?
You can make specific categories accessible to individual groups, but you can’t prevent members of group A from seeing members of groups B and C listed in /users or messaging them specifically.
PMs can be disabled site-wide though.
Your use case is too ambiguous to really make a recommendation, you’ve not said who these users are, if they’re coming from a different system, or anything really.
