How to create a private discussion area using Debate tool?

Avatar: Michele Pablo Silva Michele Pablo Silva

Is there any way to make a Debate space private? For example asking an access code when a user try to enter the Debate tool or the whole Process where the Debate tool is placed in.

Hello everybody, I'm from Italy and I work for a Foundation that supports many italian municipalities in the use of Decidim. In our last job, they asked us to have a sort of private debate space for a limited number of citizens (15-20). This group of citizens need to discuss privately some issues and proposals that later will be send to the City Council.

In my tests i found that the Debate tool, using Permissions, only allow to prevent the normal users to start new threads. But normal users can see and comment the other threads anyway. So it doesn't fit for our case.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Hi @PabloSilva, you are in the correct way.
You have to difference between registered vs verified users / private vs non private participatory space / transparent vs non transparent participatory space.
Imagine that you have one assembly (one type of participatory space in Decidim). You are enable to generate the following scenarios:

Non private, (per default transparent assembly) => Any user can see and participate. You can restrict the participation inside using verifiers.
Private, transparent assembly => Only private users of this participatory space can participate (using components) but any user can see.
Private, non-transparent assembly => Only private users of this participatory space can participate and see.

Non-transparent assembly only can be achieved if it is a private assembly. If not, is not possible to reproduce this behavior. Also, you have to upload a list with private participants as an admin in the assembly management. Hope this helps :)
