Employee Center: How do you hide entire topics or child topics

[DanielCordick]

Hi All,

Maybe im not seeing it but can you hide an entire topic or child topic from users based on roles? i checked the related lists and form layout for roles or available for and there is nothing.

is there another way? maybe ACL?

Topics are maintained in topic table.

Navigate to topic.list table and change active to false for your topics.

If you want to hide based on role, you can configure read ACL on topic table to hide topic based on roles.

That's what i was thinking as well, will mark correct after I've set up and tested

Hey Sachin,

Turns out this is not the case, Topics are hidden based on the catalog category they fall under, the entire category and items underneath it need to have some sort of role/group attached to it.

The popular topics widget is something else. even though the topic is hidden in the mega menu, the topic still shows in the popular topics widget
