I need a plugin that allows only admin and staff to see post

[hobkoblin]

I have no ability in programming and have no idea if this would be even possible. As stated above I need a plugin that allows only admin and staff to see posts. This also includes posts made by guest. The reason I need this is because I am trying to make an anonymous suggestion board. I am wanting to make sure people can't see other threads made by other people. I would appreciate any help I can get.

Sincerely,

Hi, hobkoblin.

This is already a feature. You can turn on the Private Board option when editing a board's settings in Structure > Categories & Boards to make the posts only visible to staff and the user who created them.

Guests would unfortunately need to register an account as there's no dependable way to differentiate between them.

Hey hobkoblin,

This doesn't require a plugin as it is already integrated into the forum software. To create a Suggestions board where people can make threads that are only visible to them and staff members, go to Admin > Structure > Categories & Boards and create a new board. In the Settings tab of the dialog box that pops open, you'll see the option to toggle it as a "Private board" -- enabling that option will achieve what you're shooting for.

Just verify that "Staff" is selected in the permissions dropdown, otherwise non staff members will be able to see threads that others create.
