I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I haven't found the right answer that I'm looking for.
I'm thinking about a forum that allows members to create their own forums and decide who can join them to discuss about private or sensitive issues. Can we achieve that with nodebb, through a plugin, for example? That sounds like FB groups, I know, but I prefer a platform like nodebb for the discussions inside the groups.
Thank you for your help!
If I’m not wrong, looking at the admin panel, it seems this can be done with privileges as well, similarly to that mentioned topic, but for specific private groups and categories:
Admin > Manage > Groups > + > Create Group
Admin > Manage > Privileges > [category instead of global] > Add Group
And set access, etc. privileges for that group of users and private category only.
Then, to add users:
Admin > Manage > Groups > [group for that category] > Edit > Add User to Group
It's possible to also give user-specific privileges such as moderator in the Privileges section. Or probably better using:
Admin > Manage > Admins & Mods > [category] > add-moderator
However, even with moderators, the site admin would need to create the categories and groups, set privileges, etc.
@juan-g If I’m not wrong this is only for groups. Anybody can't make subforum both with his own group.
This is interesting idea for plugin or like a feature for new version of core nodebb.
Good for wide community forums on autopilot, when owner not have enough time to support all desires of members.
