I am setting up a community where members opt in to displaying their public profile in the forums. In my use case, if they do not opt in, they should not be visible at all to anyone else in the community except for staff. Either way, they should be able to see and message/chat staff, and vice versa. …

Have you investigated this admin setting? [CleanShot 2026-09-23 at 16.35.57] Also, unless you’re gating content to a private category, could they just not sign up for the community? I know that sounds sacrilegious from a community manager. If they’re just looking to subscribe to categories, could…

[图片] tobiaseigen: I’ve set the visibility of these groups so users can’t see them at all. How did you do that? On my forum, the visibility settings are not available for default groups. While the trust level groups aren’t shown in the group list, users can still see the group and its members …

[图片] Moin: How did you do that? I don’t recall how I removed the “all groups” pulldown from the user directory. The trust level groups also do not show up to regular users on the groups list or on their profile pages. That must be a setting somewhere. I’m not seeking perfection here. [图片…
