Restrict access to taxonomy topics

[Filip Sroczy_sk]

Hello, 

I'd like to know how to implement content restriction in taxonomy Employee Center. I want to restrict one of the child topics of the taxonomy, so for example when I enter HR from "Mega Menu" some subtopics should be visible only for managers.

How do I do that?

To add to Rob's reply, a Topic will display only when a user has access to the Connected Content within in it.

• For Knowledge articles, that means you will need to use Can Read user criteria.
• For Catalog Items, you'll need to use Available for user criteria.
• for Quick Links, you'll need to set Available for user criteria.

Good luck!

I have the same requirement! Understanding that the items can be locked down on the individual record level and that the taxonomy is a 'holistic' view of these items, but there are many use cases for the additional layer of security.

An example use case is creating a topic page (with a taxonomy driven EC menu) called "for HR" that contains all the knowledge articles and services designed for HR-personnel (policies around employee relations, unemployment SOPs, catalog items to request the bulk import employee layoff records, links to common systems). In my instance, there are some nuances that would not allow for this "for HR" microsite because they are shared with some other employee groups that are non-HR (for example, some salaried employees in a particular country have access to request a bulk import of data change requests). This breaks the entire model because I don't want them seeing "for HR".

Hi, Did we get any solution to this we have to hide topic for only specific users.

Hi @ramanjaneyuK - The author of this post marked the reply by Sean as the correct answer. The conversations had along with the links provided by Sean gave them the answer they were looking for.

If you are looking to hide a topic from specific users, you can create User Criteria with HR Criteria, and attach that to your Record Producer form under the Available for Related List tab. This will allow the request to appear on the portal side for only those captured within the Available for tab, according to your added criteria with its condition.

Cheers,

Hi @Rob Sestito , I am looking for only parent topics as below. I need to hide Hardware, Software and network or Technology services.
