Making certain object Record Posts private for some Private Chatter Group Members
HI, we have a private chatter group based on Account Feed Tracking with a few members added. However we would like to be able to make any Account records posted to the group invisible to all members except the Account Owner.
Is there any way to do this? (I have the triggers doing feed posts to the group already with FeedItem object. I just need to direct them to the Account Owner only).
Thanks much for any advice or suggestions.

Hmm. That is an interesting problem. Based on how I understand your issue, FLS is not going to be your best bet. Field level security (FLS) applies to a profile not a user. The more you describe, the less this sounds like what you want. You can watch the video in the link I provided on FLS to get a bettter idea of how they work.
I assume by account record feed posts you mean the FTC (feed track change) that are generated when a field has been chaged. For these, if a user does not have access to a field, they will not see the FTC.
I'm not sure what your best option is going to be here, but it sounds like you have a group that contains a lot more information than any individual in the group would want. What may work better is having account owners collect their own accounts into streams so that they can keep track of their own accounts seperately from the group. The group would then only be used for the @mentions and polls, etc that you described. It is a less centralized solution, but since you want each member of the group to see different data, a less centralized solution may be a good option.

Hi I'm not sure I understand your question. FLS applies to a Field on an Object. If a user has read access to a field and the field is being tracked then the user can see the Feed Tracked Change post.
Is this what you are asking about or am I trying to solve the wrong problem? If this is not what you need, can you explain more specifically what you are trying to do?

After reviewing the Chatter Streams link you sent me, this may be the best bet because although the Account and Affiliation feed tracking will be the same for every field rep user, we want to make sure that each of these users get notified only when their acocunts that they own are updated by field updates that are tracked by feed tracking. A good example of how to do this dynamically is here:https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/177928/create-a-custom-chatter-stream-from-apex-connectapi
