Hi, I want to give a user the permissions to view his posts only. The posts that were made by him. Is this possible?
AI-generated summary
The discussion is about custom user permissions in Discourse. MostafaXdev wants to allow users to view only their own posts. merefield suggests creating a category for each user and permissioning it for their respective group.
MostafaXdev has created a custom page for users to apply using a wizard plugin and wants to limit their view to their own applications. downey proposes creating private messages to a group for applications, while pfaffman recommends using user custom fields for questions.
MostafaXdev considers adding users to a group, and merefield agrees that sending a message with the wizard is a viable option.
This is not really a use case for which Discourse is primarily designed. It’s about sharing. So expect some pain in getting that to work.
One option:
Set up a Category for each user and put the user into their own Group. Permission the Category for that Group.
For applications have you considered them being created as private messages to a group? The reviewers would see all of them but the sender/poster would see only their own.
Then once the applicant is added to the necessary groups they could see the rest of the site’s content.
No, I made it so it creates a topic.
I recommend that you put those questions into user custom fields.
That’s not a bad idea! You can send a message with the wizard.
