I currently use phpBB for my support site. The Dev team have a "private" forum that normal users cannot see. Is there anyway to duplicate that with OSQA ? Maybe a "special" tag that makes the questions / discussion invisible to non-Admins ?

That's the only feature stopping me changing to OSQA today...

Well, it's not on our near future plans to add such a feature, but it certainly will be possible with a module. Where finalizing our first stable release and then well document module creation. Stay tuned :)

This is also something we'd be looking for. Could you guys provide an update about where this feature sits on the roadmap (if it's there already)?

This is also a show stopper for us. The idea of private tag is good. Each user would have a list of private tags assigned by the administrator, which would give access to posting and seeing questions assigned with this tag.

me too :) private tag seems really good! Is it ok to open a new question for this? well, I will, let´s see what happens :)

well, after rethinking a little bit: the term "private tag" is a little bit misleading - what, if one tag is private AND public? So of course it´s about GROUPS, which can be non-public, if the group-owner decides so. In the view groups are just another filter, like tags or badges. Reusing the PINAX approach on groups via generic relations could save a lot of time, maybe...

Generic relations in django are evil, and is not just about performance, is more about data inconsistency in short/medium term. We did a bunch of work to remove all of those. There is another solution for that, which is having a private Node type, implemented in a node or something.

Well, that would be interesting to read more about - why are generic relations evil?
However, private nodes or private groups - this is all pointing into the same direction: role based access control (RBAC).
