How to create board that only visible for logged-in users?
We need a way to create board that only visible for logged-in users. Is there a recommended way to do this?
Forum Discussion
pradeepc - Need to set a role for the logged in users in that case and the board will be private, so it will be hidden from public view, but all the logged in users with that role will see the board.
Hi pradeepc,
You can disable access to the board for the anonymous user by denying the permission (For example 'See Forums') at board level.
If you want to make this board available for all logged-in user then as others suggested, create a role (like 'Registered User') and give grant access ('See Forums') at board level for this role. Assign this role to the users on registration.
Thanks,

Thanks, It works fine with the first step itself.
When i remove the 'See Forums' permission at board level, it hides from anonymous users and it is visible for logged in users. Is this a correct behaviour?
The second step(creating a new role and giving permission) doesn't seem to have any effect.
Here's a great step by step summary to create a restricted access node (board, idea exchange, blog... same approach for any):
