In the event that a Topic is created for sensitive information (think HR or other internal use cases), you might not want the System Admin to be able to peek into the dialogues of that Topic.
Your district can set up Private Topics or Categories in these events. When set to private, only the Category Owners and Respective Topic Owners have access to dialogues within those Topics and the ability to add those Topics onto Landing Pages.
