XF 1.3 Is there way to restrict an attachment for moderators only?

[Alexey_]

For example, we have a forum user who want to provide a sensitive information(passwords, etc) for moderators or administrative users. The information will be added to forum post as an attachment.

Is there way to hide such attachment from other non-administrative users?

Thanks.

Revoke the View threads by others permission for the Registered user group, allow if for the staff user groups.

If it's an attachment, you would disable the ability to view attachments, but I'm not positive if they can upload an attachment without the ability to view them.

So @Brogan's suggestion is probably better: just revoke the ability to even view others' threads and they won't know the threads even exist.

In such case all attachments will not be available for all registered users...
I want to implement something like that: [STAFF_ONLY]my-attachment.pdf[/STAFF_ONLY]

So, this particular attachment will be hidden from other users but visible for staff users.

You can't

Sure, user can send such attachment in a personal message and write "Hey, it is a sensitive attachment for my thread http://xenforo.com/community/thread...rict-an-attachment-for-moderators-only.76029/".
But it is bit inconvenient.

I posted the solution above.

Anything else would require custom development.
