write comment anonymously in permission restricted page

[james]

I set permissions to certain pages that can only be viewed and edited by authorized people. And I want to make users write comments "anonymously" on this page, is there a way?

Hi @james ,

Comments and Pages edit permissions are relatively independent.

Comments depends on the authorization in the space authority, and Pages edit not only depends on the authorization of the space authority but also receives page restrictions.

Thank you for your response. I understand that if a user does not have permission to view a page, it will not be displayed in the page tree and they will not be able to access it.

However, I have a follow-up question regarding comments. Is it possible for users with authority to a page to leave comments anonymously? I am wondering if this is possible through the use of a plugin or other means.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Do you want users to add comments to be anonymous after they log in or anonymous users can add comments?

I want logged in users to be able to add comments anonymously

Hi @james ,

I don't think this is reasonable, it amounts to modifying the information stored in the database. But you can try to hide this information, please refer to
