Adding non-Patreon patrons to Patron group

[dax (Daniela)]

Since you can not add non-patron members to the patreon group, you can create another patreon group using another name such as “other-patrons” (or “supporters”, benefactors" etc …). Configure this group with the same privileges you have given to patreon group and add members manually (or allow users to request participation in the group).

You can automatically assign a badge to that group, see

Automatically grant a badge for all members of a group

I just created a badge for all the awesome plugin authors. Creating a badge targeting a group is quite easy, just type this into the SQL box: select user_id, created_at granted_at, NULL post_id from group_users where group_id = ( select g.id from groups g where g.name = 'GROUP_NAME_IN_LOWER_HERE' ) I will add a trigger for this at some point so granting is faster, in the mean time just go to /sidekiq/scheduler and kick off the badge job to rush it.
