Now also as a new "sub-thread" as leiger suggested
Assign users to private categories
RobElliottRobElliott 12 Nov 2009, 05:59 NZDTI've mentioned this before on the blog site but as this shiny new area is now here I will repeat a wish that I have for a Phase 2 development of this design to be looked at in the future at some point after the current design proposal is implemented. And that is that a private category can have specific members assigned to it by username as a further sub-division from the current design proposal where all members of a site can view a private category. I admit it will add to the complexity but will increase the flexibility and reduce the need to create additional private sites for just those members (albeit that with cloning and CSIs that is now very easy).
I don't intend to appropriate Rob's idea … I just very strongly support it and I think that it makes perfect sense for a Phase 2 implementation.

I think a better way of doing this might be to focus on user groups, instead of individual users. There's a request for more user groups other than just "anonymous", "wikidot", "site member", "moderator", "admin", "master admin" … particularly for a group that fits between the 'site member' and 'moderator' area.
Assign a private category to a user group that only has one user, and it'll work just as well while only making the devs spend time on one feature instead of two. Of course, that relies on being able to create as many user groups as there are members, if the need should arise.
