I see that there is a way to make the entire tender require a login to be visible. Is there a way to only make certain sections require a login?

We want to make the vast majority of our KB open to the public but the use case I am thinking of is a download area or a partners section.

Thanks!

    We don't have anything like that available. It's a possibility... However, this is not a highly requested feature so it's not on our roadmap currently.

    No problem at all Rick. Thanks so much for getting back to me.

    We love the app and will be signing up for your middle tier of service
    shortly (we have done quite a bit of work in the trial).

    Thanks,
    Adam

    Cool. Just so you know, we support the ability to turn off our FAQ feature and plug in the URL to your own FAQ site.

    We love your FAQ functionality so we will definitely be using (we just signed up for a paid account by the way).

    One more quick question on permissions. Is there a way to make the tender site visible to the public but require a login (not just a form submission) to submit comments/topics?

    We like everything to be visible but I am not sure we would want non-clients to post.

    Not really. We've gotten that request before though, and may end up
    adding a config option for it. In your case, why would it be public
    if it's for clients only? You want the FAQ to be public or something?

    We try to keep the permission system dead simple, but we do get a few
    odd questions like this one. We just have to balance these requests
    with the added complexity in code and QA time that things add.

    We like it to be public for a few reasons:

    1. documentation can be a good selling point.
    2. it is great SEO content
    3. it's not fun to require a login just to browse content

    No worries on the permissions though. We'll use it either way. If you do get more requests for it, we'd be in favor.

    Thanks.
