Hi,

We've set up a Category for a specific group of people that aren't related to the rest of the users using our forum. We'd like for them to see/search for users only in their Category's group. Is there a way to allow for a user in a group to only be able to search for people within their own group?

Hey, do you know where I can access the asset manager? I can't seem to find the button under the extensions when I have the Asset Manager plugin installed.

I found it but the upload file dialogue box is confusing. It says the file name is optional, but if I don't enter a name then it appears in the post as blank.

Does Redactor allow for file uploading? There's a button for it, but when I tried to upload a file the upload box disappears and the file does not appear.

My understanding is that it depends on whether you think someone in your community will spend the time to enforce this if you are outside of the EU. That being said, any firm or service that interacts with an EU citizen is supposed to be compliant with GDPR. There are a lot of good data analytics websites that have articles on what one needs to do. If you're compliant with Canada's PIPEDA or whatever the US has then its not that big of a leap to be compliant with GDPR though. Some tech firms are building in easier ways to control and modify data though.

I assume with NodeBB it would be a simple matter of deleting the user when requested, but there's probably a rule around making a comment on a forum and that now being in the public sphere, which doesn't mean the nodeBB hoster having to delete all the posts related to it. If that is under GDPR then someone should contest that if they're ever challenged on it.

Hi,

Just FYI this code doesn't work in NodeBB hosted. If I use this widget, when I try to login it returns a white page that says "Forbidden".
Also, when this widget is in place and I try to use the proper login form (top right hand corner), then when logging in using that form returns a white page that shows "/".
However if I reload the home page then I actually log in.

When I removed the widget the normal login page worked.

From an ease of use perspective it seems like it would make sense to have this as a separate pre-built widget.

@kev-m I figured this out. I was looking at the Global permissions and not the category specific permissions. To change the category there is a dropdown menu on the upper right hand side of the Manage>Privileges page. Then I select the category and remove the guest permissions.

@kowlin Hi is this still accurate? There seems to only be three permission categories for Guest Users, all of which I have unchecked, but they can still see the forum categories. The Categories section of the Admin settings doesn't display anything related to Access Control or a Permissions Tab. I'm am using the NodeBB hosted version of NodeBB.

@evoixmr thanks for this. I'm glad this exists.

@Pitaj thank you for your work on this! Is it possible to have calendars by group? So if our marketing team wanted a calendar with their events, and our comms team wanted a different calendar for their events, does that exist?
