Title: Blocking Guests from viewing specific Board ?
Post by: D.M. on July 14, 2024, 07:52:05 am
Greetings ElkArtians !

Running into a bit of a difficult time setting up board specific permissions for the Guest user group, tried absolutely everything but you gentlemen may have a resolution that I couldnt find!

So the idea is to make one of the Boards read only (that's done by setting up the read only permissions for the specific board) But I would like to completely ban Guests from even viewing that specific board, is that possible ?

Thanks in advance !

Just untick guests from allowed groups to disable their access, then change the board to Read Only.

As above :point_up_2: ... Admin -> Forum -> Modify  Boards

Then find the board and use the MODIFY button, uncheck Guest from the allowed groups.

What kind of magic is this ? I was searching all around clicking everywhere but only after I saw your reply its like I exactly knew what to do and I clicked on the board name in Board Permissions and found the ticker for Guests !

You guys are amazing ! Thank you very much !

You are not the first one to get confused by the permissions system, myself very much included!
