Can I hide topics in the table of contents?

Question

Is there a way to make certain portions of a table of contents invisible to some groups, but visible to others?

For instance, let’s say I’m creating a RoboHelp project for a website that has some accessibility to the general public, but other sections of the site unavailable to the public; also, some portions of the website available to certain departments in our organization, but not to others. Put another way, say our company has sections A, B, C and D. The general public would not have access to the topics in the website concerned with these sections, and, in fact, each section would be “partitioned” from the others, so that the people in section A would only see ToC entries for section A, etc.

Confused? Let me know…

Not securely if you had to make sure that the public won’t stray into topics that they weren’t authorized to see. DUCC can separate out different streams, but if you choose the wrong one, nothing stops you from seeing that help. I suspect that you’re going to have to produce 2 (or more) flavours of output – one public & one private. The private one you would host behind some secure login gateway.
