@codinghorror @eviltrout is this feature going to make it, I also have a bunch of moderators, but I don’t want to make them admin just so they can move users to different groups… Thanks! ---

Already implemented on latest, just add group owners to the group ---

@sam You lost me… My question was in relevance to having a user as a moderator: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/optimized/3X/9/c/9cd7aea8d7b7478aac5de60eb03288efd44051f0_2_690x40.png) being able to add users to groups themselves… ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/2/0/209c01b75e91a1c3a7585c3e922a2d365c080e75.png) Which right now they can’t… Could you explain me how exactly I do this? I pasted you some screenshots of one of my users who is a moderator (first screenshot) and when he goes on someone else’s account to add them to a group what they see is not being able to add them to groups… Thanks! ---

Click on the group, make sure you are running latest ---

@sam I don’t even know how to reply to that… Did you see my screenshots? The version I am running is the latest… Your explanation doesn’t really say much, but I am going to humor you… I clicked on Groups and I get two options: Custom and Automatic Under Custom I have the groups I have created. I don’t see a moderator group in there… should I add one? Under Automatic, I see the standard moderator group, with my mods in it, but it doesn’t give me an option to allow the mods to edit groups… ---

I reviewed this again and I created a group, where I added the members to its owners group, but those users still cannot add users to groups. I am an admin, I can do whatever… by my moderators cannot… ---

You have to go to the public group page to do that ---

Do you always reply with one lines? Where is the Public Group Page? ---

Try searching for public group page, 4 results from top Once you figure this out can you do a detailed howto to help others At hospital on my mobile so my responses are a bit short ---

Once you figure it out, we can add cross links in the UI so it is more discoverable. New feature so may need some tweaks. ---

If I understand this right, an Admin should be able to go to a Group’s public page, like this: `https://meta.discourse.org/groups/discourse/members` and see a way to add an Admin. two questions - where would that be? and can we get it added to the group’s Admin view so it’d be: `https://meta.discourse.org/admin/groups/custom/discourse` thanks! ---

@sam, ok I figured out how to get the Public Group Page thanks to @watchmanmonitor 's post. My other admin clicked someone’s “officer” tag in their profile and that is how we found it. @codinghorror, I think this public group page needs a link from either the Groups: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/7/e/7e16203cbd225a98953eddade6b7902d6acfe07b.jpg) Also I hope i am not taken out of context in giving a suggestion. ---

I still don’t see this, on my paid/hosted subscription, or self-hosted. Does it take a rebuild to show up? ---

Yes I agree we should link to the public group page from admin will look at adding a link ---

This shows in github as a feature already.. how will we know when we can use this exciting new feature? ---

I still can’t find this, even on my hosted forum… can someone point a relative URL to where I should be able to set a user a group admin? ---

Not sure, have not used this feature, you’ll need to ask @sam where it is.. maybe he can post a screenshot. Not good that people can’t find it, this implies our UI is broken and/or we need cross-links to where they are looking..
