I’d like a group to be visible to Admins & Moderators and group members. Initially I had set the group’s visibility to “Group owners, members”, but this excludes moderators. The next closest option is “Group owners and staff” – this allows moderators to see the group, however, then the group is hidden to group members themselves.
So it appears there isn’t currently an option that would allow just staff (moderators and admins) and group members (and presumably group owners as well) to see a group.
I propose adding a new option to this list, or changing the Group owners, members option to Group owners, members, and staff, to include moderators as well as admins.
I was curious as to if you found a way to do this? Any progress? I’m in the same situation as I would like moderators to have access to view all Groups but not be Admins. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Sorry I’m late to the game here but I’m not sure if this is right anymore with the introduction of SiteSetting.moderators_manage_categories_and_groups. Should we only allow moderators to see groups with a visibility of Group owners, memebers only if that site setting has been enabled?
@jamie.wilson Do you have any thoughts about this since you have the full context surrounding SiteSetting.moderators_manage_categories_and_groups.
The site setting doesn’t, and shouldn’t, impact group visibility. If the setting is on, moderators can only manage groups they can see. Just like it worked with categories before the setting was renamed and expanded.
Ah icic. I had the impression that if the site setting is turned on, group moderators are allowed to manage any group which isn’t the case as you’ve pointed out.
