[image] User Status i love this feature but only want to enable it for our staff - can we restrict it to groups? i know many of our users would likely want to abuse this feature, or at least use it in a way not intended. @Lilly If you are interested, you might try this component GitHub - Arksh…

thanks. i tried it a few times and that component still won’t restrict access. for example i restricted it to admins (me) and my test user account could access the user status functions. update: I’ve since tried and failed with Staff and Moderator groups as well. it’s as if the component isn’t enab…

Make sure you have the latest version, if not already. Also, from what I see on your forum, enable_user_status is disabled. :thinking:

yea i disabled it after i couldn’t get it to work. i will work on it later when i get back to my desk. i really don’t want my users getting a hold of it lol.

Alright :smile:. It’s definitively working for me. The only issue I can think of is you may have kept the ‘everyone’ group in the setting (as it’s the default value, I should probably remove it :thinking: )

i’ve tried a few times now with no luck. admin is the only group in the allowed group setting. i have to keep turning the user status setting on and off to test it so maybe that is why. i have it off right now. in other words i am able to turn it off globally in the admin settings for user_statu…

I believe it did work for me on your forum (not totally sure). I could see the component loaded (I also saw a warning, it’s fixed already) and checked site settings (using the browser console) if enabled before looking at the profile :thinking: [image] Also, just so that you can see, it works on …

well after a few more tries this morning i still cannot get it work properly for me. it allows my test account to see the set user access option and access the set user status dialog and enter details from the user menu, but not the preferences page. the status also doesn’t show up in the the avat…

That’s good news. If partially working, I can fix it. :smile: I’ve just seen that you’re using the old menu, and I can confirm it’s not handled. Let me see If I can match all your settings and if I missed some areas! Thanks for testing also your patience.

hah. i forgot about that. i think i will enable the new one. it’s not much different. i’m more concerned about the sidebar hamburger menu because i know my user base will protest that change more even though i love the sidebar and it is way better, and will also address some of their concerns abo…
