Public bug reported:

I think a very useful feature to have 'closed' or 'controlled' institutions, whereby the members of one instutution can't see or communicate with members not in their insitution. This feature would be useful for safeguarding, for example a college may not want adult college members to be able to communicate (and potentially 'groom') 14-18 year olds. The 14-18 could be put into a separate institution to the adult college members, but teachers could be in both, so could see both sets of learners, but the two sets of learners couldn't 'see' each other.
May also be useful to prevent confusion in large installs with many institutions...
Thanks
