I updated my Discourse self-hosted install on Friday, I was about 2 weeks behind. My current version is 3.5.0.beta2-dev ( 712302c020 ). I created a private chat channel based on one of our private categories and I said “yes” to automatically add the 7 users who had access to the category: <a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/2/b/1/2b1e5889af9c8d741788de9094d9df4af5e63e18.png" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/69rxUlaG1p0oNvLHAifufpEJbxS.png?dl=1" title="The image shows a dialog box for creating a new Slack channel, specifically named "Core collaborators team," with an option to automatically add users and chances to select interactivity features like thread enabling.

Found the problem, which was me.. :person_facepalming: Going through everything once more, of course I noticed that in “Chat allowed groups” not all the groups were added. On our site, we’re pretty strict on who can chat or not and I forgot I set up only specific “Chat allowed groups” …

Edit: Solved! My bad, forgot to update the permissions Automatically adding people to a private chat channel is no longer working? - #12 by cultiv Unfortunately an update to 3.5.0.beta2-dev ( 558c566ca8 ) didn’t help. I can see that when I search a user that I should be able to add, that there’s…

Could it be something to do with this PR that was added before I did the upgrade? https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/31948 Not sure how I could maybe downgrade to the commit before this one, then I can test if that was the cause of the problem :thinking: And just to note, I have the same…

I don’t have an immediate answer, but we will be looking at this, thanks.

I managed to downgrade to 3.5.0.beta1 and refreshed all my browser caches etc. But I am still facing this problem. It’s extremely weird, I know I was on a recent version, less than 2 weeks old. It worked there, I set up 2 channels with auto-adding people, when I said “yes” to add people from an exi…

I just tried to recreate this and yeah, I was only seeing one member in the channel right after creation. Every time I logged in as each of the other users that had acces…

Thanks for having a look! I am afraid that most people have been online quite recently and even when I impersonate a few of them, they still don’t get added to the category chat channel.
