User Groups- Adding Ideation as a content type?

Hello Experts,

I have a use case where some large customers want to have a private area to submit ideas. There is a security component, so they want to be able to submit ideas to our teams but not necessarily share with other customers. 

I know this sometimes sounds contrary to the obvious- but considering privacy concerns regarding competitors, industries and even location this is a topic to consider. 

Easiest solution is to allow ideation as a content type within the user groups. 

Would love to hear other potential solutions/feedback?

Perhaps making an anonymous account for posting ideas on behalf of customers who don’t want to be associated with the idea but can still track them. 

TIA for your ideas and feedback!!!

We are already doing this too in categories where access is managed through custom roles. I would also like to know if there are any potential solutions too.

We are doing the same as ​@Mithila Jayalath  - managing access to different ideas with custom roles. It is working fine for us.

We did this in the past through role-based permission access to an ideas category, and it worked out well. It’s essentially the same concept as the “private” user group, but actually worked out better because we did not have to manually govern group access one-by-one, we could just set up authentication based off of a user’s role.
