Ability to create a user group with the "inverse" of users with an email domain

I want to create a user group that is everyone except those with, say, @domain.com. Is this possible today in Discourse?

Thinking more…not only would this be a great feature, but also the ability to create a dynamic user group based on a data explorer query.

What do you do with everyone sans a domain/group? Knowing how you’d use that group will flesh out this feature.

So you could use some automation tool to update groups like Trigger a Zapier task with Discourse Webhooks. That could be a lot of requests for Zapier to handle, so it could get expensive.

If you are going to get webhooks involved, I would add everyone to the target group, create a second programmatic group with domain.com auto-added, and then only fire off webhooks only on user events from the second group, which removes those accounts from both groups.

I… spend a lot time budgeting webhooks.
