Is there a way to make “Skip review media groups” apply only when users upload images or files, but not when they use external image links?
Right now, even when users insert images via URL, the post still gets reviewed. I would like this feature to only trigger when users upload media directly (images or files).
If this isn’t currently possible, I’d love to know if there’s a workaround or if it could be considered as a feature request.
The Skip review media groups setting applies to any post containing embedded media, regardless of whether the media is uploaded directly to Discourse or linked externally via a URL.
There currently isn’t another setting to differentiate between uploads and external links with that setting when deciding whether to skip review for specific user groups, or a workaround to only trigger review upon directly uploaded media.
With that in mind, if this is a feature you’re interested in, I would encourage you to create a Feature topic in our Meta community. The more people who show interest in a feature, the more likely it is to make it into Discourse. This sounds like a neat idea and we’d love to know more about what you are looking for.

Currently, Embedded media post allowed groups distinguishes between uploads and external links. I was wondering if there’s a way to make the Skip review media groups setting leverage the mechanism used in Embedded media post allowed groups. Is there any setting or method that could make this possible?
