without assigning them an admin or mod role? Tried digging through settings and didn’t see an option.

It’s not possible. Groups are used mostly to control access to categories. What is your use case?

groups can determine user flairs as you know Users want to determine flairs, maybe there’s another way to let them do this also people are just used to vbulletin like sites where being part of a group is just a fun way to be a ‘member’ of something, even if they don’t post in it But I think the flair thing is the main reason

I am running into this issue with my community. I would like local groups of ham radio operators to be able to create clubs/groups themselves.

That would be awesome. Coupled with the ability for group owners to create categories would make it very redditish.

This isn’t on our roadmap at the moment sorry. It’s counterintuitive to the way Discourse works. What do people want to use groups for? Could they not just use group PMs?

There see so many of them that creating these by hand is too much work? Would you let them create an infinite number of them? Since it’s not on the roadmap you’d need a plugin. If you have a budget you can post in #marketplace. You’ll need a few more details though. Would you just want anyone of a certain trust level to have access to the create groups and categories interface?

The groups will be used to set up ham radio contacts and discuss frequencies they will use as well as local events. I plan to automatically add users to appropriate location groups based on location metadata about the user. Currently my users subscribe through my main wordpress website. It also seems that Groups don’t exist as an object that is viewable within discourse. You can’t have a Group page, users can’t request to join groups, as far as I’m aware. This functionality is extremely important in my case, because my platform will have multiple smaller local groups of ham radio operators. It seems discourse is set up for one centralized forum, but doesn’t support this use case unfortunately
