Users without read permission can open forum?

[Sonya*]

I have a forum that has no "Read topics" permission for the guests.

I would like the guests to see the forum and the topic titles, but not able to read the topic content itself. So, I have enabled Users without read permission can open forum?

My board uses Fluid view:

With this setup, guests cannot see the topics from the forum above in the topics list. They also do not see a forum itself in the filter box on the right side. I have expected the guest will see those topics in the fluid list, but when someone clicks on the topic title, then Custom No Permission Error will be displayed.

At the moment there is no difference in the fluid view whether I enable/disable Users without read permission can open forum?

Does it work as desired or a setup error from me or a bug?

I was just reviewing topics here and see this appears to have been missed for some reason. Sorry about that Sonya. As there is content that can be seen in fluid view, that would be correct. The setting you are looking at means that they would be able to see titles within the forums themselves

Just to clarify it. The setting Users without read permission can open forum? does not have any impact on the fluid view and this is correct. Right?

That is correct, as fluid view is a different thing than the forum itself. Its essentially home page view of content.

Too bad, I was hoping it was a bug. 🤪
