Hide content from public groups for non-members

@KellyBebenek Apologies for the late engagement on this idea. We’re planning some big improvements to Groups later this year, and this is definitely on the shortlist!

Would love to see this as well! We have groups broken up by industry and have had issues where members from other industries chime in due to seeing it in the activity forum. Appreciate that it’s on the short list! 

Hi, checking to see if there has been any update on this. 

Ideally I’d love a use case where the Groups and applicable conversations were only viewable by registered users of the community, and not the “private” setting that requires users to be group members.  

Hi ​@Sebastian Also adding to ​@Laurenseife’s inquiry :) Any update to the roadmap on this one?

While you wait for the idea to get some traction, I feel like you could potentially do something here with a third-party script. If you have a developer at your company who could help out, that would be ideal.

In the meantime, it could look something like this:

<script>
  (function() {
    // Wait until the DOM is fully ready
    document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
      try {
        // Check if user is registered
        const user = window.inSidedData?.user;
        const isRegistered = user && user.role && user.role.includes("Registered");

        if (isRegistered) return; // Don't hide anything from registered users

        // Query all group cards
        const groupCards = document.querySelectorAll('.group-overview-item');

        groupCards.forEach(card => {
          const label = card.textContent || '';
          if (label.includes("Public group")) {
            card.style.display = 'none';
          }
        });

        console.log("Public groups hidden for non-registered user.");
      } catch (err) {
        console.error("Error hiding public groups:", err);
      }
    });
  })();
</script>
