Comment 1 for bug 360801

For our use case we'd like to make a project/section/distribution/whatever restricted, but not exactly private. The scenario is a customers-only support area, where only members of a closed group (the customers and staff) can post, as a way of prioritizing those people. Normally though customers would be able to read other customers' posts, although being able to actually make a thread private would also occasionally be handy. The bigger issue right at the moment though is having some kind of customers-only Answers area. (Bug #563092, the duplicate, was my original report for reference.)
