Can you limit voting to only certain users/group in the idea portal?

For example, is it possible to only allow users in a leadership/stakeholder group to vote on ideas, instead of everyone in an organization?

Hello,

I believe you just asked this same question the other day? And a ServiceNow employee responded? https://www.servicenow.com/community/spm-forum/can-you-limit-the-idea-portal-to-certain-user-groups/... 

With that said, you would have to limit who can see the portal to limit who can vote.

Hi,

The response I was given says "I am not sure if there is a setting to restrict voting to certain groups / users."

Thanks.

Hi,

And you can continue the conversation there?

In any case, I've provided the answer above.

Thanks!

Hi @Allen Andreas ,

I agree  - "With that said, you would have to limit who can see the portal to limit who can vote."

I am glad that both of us agree with the concept of collaboration because in my response (copied below), it is mentioned that - "By design and concept, idea portal is all about collaborating on the submitted ideas. As a best practice, everyone who is able to see the idea should have the capability to collaborate on it."

That's interesting point @andit . I am not sure if there is a setting to restrict voting to certain groups / users.

By design and concept, idea portal is all about collaborating on the submitted ideas. As a best practice, everyone who is able to see the idea should have the capability to collaborate on it.
