Assign topics to non-staff users

We have version 2.4.1 installed for an internal only purpose. I’m part of staff. Not able to assign topics to some users. Are there still restrictions on who can a topic be assigned to?

Are those users members of a group which has been specified as eligible for assign? Non-staff users need to be in a group, and that group needs to appear in assign allowed on groups.

I had multiple groups in that setting (assign allowed on groups). Including everyone and bunch of others.

It seems the user has to be at a certain trust level or some other requirement in addition to the assign allowed on groups. I tried again and I am now able to assign to the same user who I was not able to assign to earlier. Only thing changed is I bumped that user from TL1 to TL4.

TL4 definitely isn’t required. I can’t speak to TL1 as everyone we have using assign is at least TL2.

Small bug (I think) with this feature: I noticed that @everyone is an option in the selector, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect.

Not sure what the desired fix is:

  1. Exclude @everyone from the options to choose from in the selector or
  2. Make it work so that @everyone can assign things when @everyone is chosen…

Trust level 0 should work though? We should certainly make everyone unselectable in the site setting, the everyone group is a bit weird

Pretty sure we are pretty done with this feature we offer full group based flexibility around who can participate in assignments.
