It shouldn’t be too far off now, @eviltrout did a month+ of work on aggregating / centralizing all approvals + flags and this opens the door to category level moderation.

If all goes well I’d like to start work on it shortly. We’re just fixing regressions and quickly integrating feedback on the new queue first.

There was one of our forum users that said it was out now, but couldn’t find a doc: Is this true that it’s out already?
Here ya go: Category Group Review/Moderation

It appears this feature only allows those in the group to review flagged posts. Is there any plan to add the other moderator abilities such as Edit Posts, Lock Topics, Pin Topics, etc? Our system has categories that are public and private. We need to allow these category moderators in the private categories but not the public categories. Elevating them to TL4 gives them permissions in the public categories that we do not want them to have.

And what “permissions” are those that you object to?
Everything that TL4 has that TL2 does not have. We have only a small number of users who are allowed to have the TL4 permissions in our public forums but we have about 2000 private forums, that each have their own users who are supposed to be moderators.
You deployed Discourse with two thousand subcategories on the hope that per-category moderation would one day be developed, and function is a very specific way? 
Actually it was deployed without expectation of category moderation but when we saw it was available we were hoping it would work.
The system is used by the Boy Scouts of America. There are public categories but each Pack or Troop can have their own private category for communication among their Scouts. We want the Pack or Troop leaders to have the ability to be moderators in their own categories but NOT have TL4 access to the public categories.

Ok, I guess I misread
What you mean is that each has users who you would like to be able to moderate?
Yes. The pack and troop leaders should be able to moderate their own categories. This was a long time request before the forums were switched to Discourse. We would like the category moderators to have the same capabilities in their categories that a system moderator has in the public categories.
もし私の理解が間違っていたら申し訳ありませんが、モデレーターは特定のグループやトピックを管理することはできないのでしょうか？それとも、彼らは Web アプリ全体に対してのみ管理を行うのでしょうか？つまり、モデレーターはミニ管理者のような存在なのでしょうか？
その通りです。モデレーターはすべてのカテゴリとトピックのモデレーションを行う権限を持っています。

ありがとうございます！あなたがモデレーターでグループ1に所属し、かつグループ1がカテゴリ1のみを閲覧できる場合、これはあなたがモデレーターでありながらグループ1にも所属しているため、カテゴリ1内の投稿のみをモデレーションできることを意味しますか？
