The discussion revolves around the possibility of assigning different staff members to moderate or approve registrations for specific categories in Discourse. Sébastien_Uyttenhoe1 asks if it’s possible to have distinct staff groups responsible for validating new user registrations based on the categories they wish to join. not-ethan clarifies the question, and Sébastien_Uyttenhoe1 explains that users select categories during registration, and they want category-specific staff to approve those registrations. olivia responds that while Discourse supports assigning moderators to categories and managing user groups, direct approval based on selected categories isn’t supported. She suggests a manual workaround: general staff approve registrations, then category-specific moderators manage permissions afterward.
Hello,
I’d like to know if it’s possible to create subcategories into Staff users ? In a same forum, I’d like to have different people to approve subscription. A group of staff for a specific category or a group of categories.
Is-it possible in Discourse ?
Thank you for your help
Regards
Hey @Sébastien_Uyttenhoe1 welcome to meta!
Im not sure if I understand. Do you want specific groups to be able to moderate specific categories?
Hello,
Thank for the reply @not-ethan . In fact, I’d like some users to be able to validate registration requests from new forum users for certain categories. For example :
Staff User xx for groups 1, 2 and 4
Staff User yy for groups 3, 5 and 7
When registering, I’ve created a special field for my new user to indicate which category or categories he’d like to join.
Discourse allows the creation of user groups and assigning moderators to specific categories, but I guess direct registration approval based on chosen categories is not supported.
However, a potential manual workaround

Does it help you?
