ScottWorld asks how to change the default title for a group after creation, noting that default Discourse groups like “Moderators” cannot be edited. crcoli7307 explains that while default groups have limited edit options, individual user titles can be manually changed in the admin panel, or a new group with a custom default title can be created. ScottWorld confirms that custom groups can be edited and that manually updating a few moderators is manageable. crcoli7307 concludes the discussion by offering help.
When I create a new group, it gives me the opportunity to choose a “default title” for members of that group.
However, after the group is created, there doesn’t seem to be any way to edit the “default title” from that point forward.
Is there any way for me to go back and change the “default title” for a group, without completely deleting & recreating the group?
In my case, I’d love to have a “default title” of “Moderator” for anybody who is in the Moderators group, which is the default group that Discourse created. But I’m having the same issue with some of the other groups, too.
Yes, just like you said, I just discovered that I actually CAN change default titles for all of my custom groups. But it’s the default discourse groups that can’t be changed.
And yes, I only have a couple of moderators, so very easy to change manually.
