I’d like automatically to add all users with [name@subdomain1.example.com](mailto:name@subdomain1.example.com) (or [name@subdomain2.example.com](mailto:name@subdomain2.example.com) or [name@subdomain3.example.com](mailto:name@subdomain3.example.com)) but unfortunately if I type [example.com](http://example.com) it doesn’t add any of them to the group. Is there a way round it? The closest I found in old topics here were these two posts from 2018 and 2020 respectively: > [@Exclude certain email sub-domains from automatic group membership](https://meta.discourse.org/t/exclude-certain-email-sub-domains-from-automatic-group-membership/86212/6): > > Sure, I think a PR that adds support for wildcards would be fine. Search for automatic\_membership\_email\_domains in the code if you want to give this a try. It’s used in a couple of files. > [@Automatic registration domain wild card](https://meta.discourse.org/t/automatic-registration-domain-wild-card/146933/3): > > Yeah there is an inconsistency internally, our automatic group membership is based off a strict domain match per: Our matcher for the email\_domains\_whitelist uses this match I think it makes sense to make this coherent and consistent. @techAPJ can you adjust the group regex.. carefully and make sure it is tested so it also allows subdomains. It looks like the plan was to allow [example.com](http://example.com) to include all its subdomains for automatic group membership.
