For anyone maybe experiencing the same issue we found and fixed the bug related to group permissions. If the group wasn’t publicly visible then the ads were still being shown to the group.

This fix resolves the issue, so if you haven’t upgraded the the latest version Discourse and the adplugin please do so.
