Allow a members only site
completed
I would like to have a site that only members that I approve can view the suggestions. The application has many competitors who would likely come to view the suggestions and steal them if they were available to everyone.
We decided to jump right to invitation-only pages, which are now available. You may import email addresses to jump-start your invitation list, and then other users may come to your page and request access.

I agree - privacy can be a big issue for some users. Please consider strongly.

That is the same thing I am looking for. Same interface, but limited to invited approved users only.

I am not concerned about competitors but spammers. As with any public forum, we'd need some moderation, membership control.

We have trusted groups of users we solicit feedback from, yet they number in the thousands. Members-only collaboration on such a scale would require bulk account management of some type (CSV, etc).

This would work for an enterprise version as well, I'd like to see one version for employees and another version for end users/customers. just like Dell has Idea Storm for customers and Employee Storm for employees

and/or it could be possible to have one general username and password for the uservoice site in question, facilitating voting in an enterprise or a group without everyone having to register (as many won't do anyway), and elimitating or reducing the need for expiration of anonymous votes.

maybe this could be solved with an API. example.com user logs into uservoice with his example.com credentials, then UV asks example.com's authorization (in an api-predetermined way) and if example.com responds positively, UV lets the user in.
Or maybe example.com passes an authorization token when linking to UV, as in http://uservoice.uservoice.com/suggestions/1260

As a product manager, I love this app, but for me to use it, it has to be private. Can't be broadcasting roadmaps to competitors.

Hey guys, I'm planning this one out and would like to know whether it'd be better to:
a) protect the page with a password that is shared by everyone
b) build a more robust invitation system, where you must approve users to participate on the page
?

coming from an enterprise perspective, I would think that password protecting the page would be better. Even with a robust invitation system, unauthorized users may discover the URL and be able to view/copy suggestions. Having everything hidden behind a password would give a higher level of privacy, IMHO
