I'm using Advanced Forums to create a Prayer Request board on our church website, and naturally, some requesters will want their requests to remain private. Using Forum Access, I've implemented a forum that is blocked to all but members of the "Prayer Team" Drupal Role. However, there are two problems I can't seem to solve:

  • Users should be able to POST requests to the private board even if they aren't members of the Prayer Team
  • Users should be able to VIEW, EDIT, and COMMENT ON, their own requests on the private board.

Is this a feature I'm missing? Is Forum Access the wrong module for this?

I see your use case, but this is currently not supported. As explained in "Permissions information", a user who doesn't have View access cannot do anything in a forum, and he doesn't see the forum either.

With a bit of custom programming you may be able to get the forum to show up, and you could then use the Content Access and Rules modules to give access to the user's own content. Comments would probably be more difficult, and frankly, I don't know whether CA for D7 is working or not.
