Make your Roadmap accessible only to authenticated end-users and limit the access of specific roadmaps to select user groups.

Overview
You can decide exactly who can view your Roadmap module and the different roadmaps inside it:
Only restrict specific roadmaps: Have a public Roadmap module, but limit certain roadmaps to your internal team or specific customer segments.
Restricted Roadmap module: All visitors are required to log in to prevent unwanted access and competitors from spying. You can only allow access to specific user groups.
The most common setup is to have a public Roadmap module and limit access to only specific roadmap views (first option.)
Limiting roadmaps to team members or specific user groups
To control access to only certain roadmap views:
Go to Settings → Roadmap
Open the roadmap whose privacy settings you want to control
Under the ‘Visible by’ section select the ‘Team members’ or ‘Segments’ and select the customer segment(s) you wish to give access to.
Learn how to create customer segments here. To use custom attributes (e.g. location, plan, etc.) for segments, you must have synced customer data.
Roadmap visitor authentication
To avoid competitors’ spying and unwanted attention, you can make your entire Featurebase Portal (including the Roadmap module) require visitors to log in. This is done via a private organization.
When users come from your app, the authentication is automatic, so the user experience will not be impacted. Otherwise, they'll be redirected to a regular login page. Once logged in, you can decide who gets access.
For example, you can:
Give access only to your company’s employees for a fully internal Roadmap
Give access only to paying customers
The options are endless because you have full control.

Note: This also limits access to all the other parts of Featurebase to only authenticated users, including the Feedback Forum, Changelog, and Help Center.
