Emails - can I send to all or groups?

I would like to assign members to different groups

See Configure private / closed group access, membership and visibility

@Classic_Kinder

send them group emails and send an email to all members that are registered to celebrate certain milestones.

This sounds a lot like too many messages, but I guess if it works for you then

To send group messages read through:

@sam

Out-of-the-box nobody can send messages to groups or trigger mention notifications.

And so, you’d need to adjust the settings for the group to allow messaging:

@sam

To change this, you can go to the Manage tab of a group’s page and select the “ Interaction ” section from the left navigation sidebar. Find the settings labeled “Who can @mention this group?” and “Who can message this group?”

While to email all users, best bet would be to export your user emails and use a platform like Mailchimp to email them all. Also, messaging TL0 users should also work here, but use group messaging sparingly as you could end up being flagged for spam.

Also, where does it say what is set up in the different trust levels?

Not sure I understand what you mean here, but Understanding Discourse Trust Levels gives a good read on Trust Levels, and you can also go through the Trust Level section of your admin settings to see the specific details. You’ll find the site settings here /admin/site_settings/category/trust.
