I am currently trying to create a blog on our IT sub site where we discuss various topics. We would like to make it possible that every end user is able to make a post/comment on improvements they would like see on the blog but we do not want them to see the blog its self and its various topics. Is there a way to do this with SharePoint 2010 out of the box? I was poking around the various web parts but did not see anything, and Google was leading me to nothing.

Background info: SharePoint 2010 (On prem) I am newish to SharePoint (but falling in love with it) Location of blog is locked down so only IT personal can see it

Thanks in advance!

Let's try defining your requirements in a non-technical sense. You need a place where people make suggestions, and you need a secure place where IT personnel comment and discuss these suggestions.

To accomplish this, create a support site where your users can add their suggestions to a list. Then keep your blog locked down. This is clean and simple, and doesn't require a lot of custom permission complexity.

Your initial thought of having users somehow make comments to a blog they cannot see might work, but you might end up having to do a lot of unnecessary work to get the security right.

  • Thanks for the idea Derek, I will run this by the powers to be and see what they say. I am going to mark you answer as the correct one since you at least gave me a simple alternative.
