Hi all, I’ve tried searching but due to the nature of the search words repeating I can’t seem to find an answer. When I create or edit a group, I have the option of restricting @ mentions of the group to: Posting Who can @mention this group? Nobody Only admins Only moderators and Admins Only group members, moderators and admins Only group owners, moderators and admins Everyone Is there a way I can either add an option to this list, as follows: Only members of these groups, groups members, moderators and admins with a selection box where I can pick another group from the list of groups. or Add a sub option to “Who can @mention this group?” where I can select select any of the normal options with a checkbox: Also allow members of these groups: with a selection box where I can pick another group from the list of groups. For my use case, here’s an example, I have two groups named @chair-people and @committee-members I want to restrict @ mentions to @chair-people to only those people who are in the @chair-people and @committee-members group. If there’s no way to do this automatically, or no plugin available already, I don’t mind having an attempt at creating one (I’m a developer who normally programs in PHP or C#), but would need some pointers of where to get started. Many thanks

No this is not possible. This can be a #feature though

You would need a plugin. I’m not aware of an example that’s a good place to start. There’s a repo called “all-the-plugins” you can search through. There are a set of topics about plugin development.

Thanks @not-ethan and @pfaffman :slight_smile: When I get some time I’ll see if I can create a plugin, and failing that will put in a feature request. Many thanks

I asked for this a long time ago when in a different role. It seems like it might be possible but it is potentially complicated. Needs mock-ups. [image] Limit group messaging and @mentioning by trust level or group(s) Feature Currently, admins can set who can message and @mention a group and only choose from Everyone, Nobody, Only moderators and Admins and Only group members, moderators and admins. I’d suggest adding trust levels to this list and/or a separate field to enter in group names manually. That way we can prevent abuse and also set some groups to still be private without giving e.g. staff moderator privileges. [image] Another: [image] Allow group mention for specific group users Feature Hello team Could you please advise if we can add a feature to make it possible to allow for a group of users to be able to mention another group. For example, within my platform I want the group of tutors (for example nd001-1mac-tutors) to be able to mention a group of students whenever they create new beneficial topics for them (for example nd001-1mac-students) but not the opposite way because I don’t want students to abuse this option. This is my forum link https://macdiscussions.udacity.com/ …

Can I allow groups to be mentioned by other groups?
