Showing 404 (not found) rather than 403 (permission denied) on private forums/containers

Created on 23 August 2016, almost 9 years ago
Updated 7 March 2025, 3 months ago

When anonymous user attempts to access forum via link, lacking the permission to view forum, they are directed to a 404 Page Not Found error page. What should happen is a 403 Access Denied page should be called, and then LoginToboggan will redirect the user to login, and return them to the forum page.

How can we attain this workflow?
