Does not work when logged out: https://meta.discourse.org/u?exclude_groups=admins&order=likes_received Logged out: [image] Logged in: [image] I stumbled across this because I noticed when logged out of my own forums, I’m no longer excluded from users sorted by likes received. Is this delibe…

[图片] haydenjames: Was able to at least remove admin user from off the homepage’s Right Sidebar Blocks plugin with just CSS. .top-contributors--user:has([data-user-card="admin_username"]) { display: none; } Ok so was able to achieve the result that I needed for both the front page sid…

[图片] haydenjames: :slight_smile: A LOT of them do. Most that I visit Yeah that’s certainly true. But when it comes to security features, we have to design things to work precisely as they’re described. If someone decides to hide group membership, that needs to work 100% reliably.

[图片] haydenjames: For context, all I’m actually trying to achieve is in the sidebar plugin there’s a ranking, and I just don’t want the admins group included in the “most likes received” or top contributors list. Why don’t you change the visibility of the admin group and its members to “every…

The thing is, hiding membership isn’t really reliable here anyway. On a lot of forums, mine included, the admins are some of the most active users. So you can just sort the directory by activity and usually spot an admin or two right away. The admin group membership is easily deduced from exposed a…

I do see your point, but it’s important to consider that the group security system is not specific to the @admins group. The same security model would need to work for the @super-secret-lurkers group, if a forum had one :wink: Being able to work out ‘not in a group’ is ultimately the same as being …

[图片] david: Does updating the admins group to be visible to ‘everyone’ work for you? No I tried that before opening. Thought maybe non-members had to be able to see the group for the exclusion to work. :confused: But no, /u?exclude_groups=admins is ignored entirely for unregisted visitors.

It is not about hiding the users, but hiding the information about who is a member of a group. That’s why you can see the members of a hidden group in the directory, but you cannot see the group’s page. You know the user exists, but you don’t know if they belong to a secret group. For example, you …

You can already see who’s in the admins @Moin when logged out. Not everyone all at once. not logged in: [image] But that was not my issue here about secrecy or security:

No I only toggled the “Who can see this group’s members?” I don’t want the “Who can see this group” enabled because that allows the /g/admins public accessed. But I can test to test to see if it causes /u?exclude_groups=admins to be honored. brb

哦，好的！那听起来可能是一个漏洞。

确认一下：您是否已将群组可见性和群组成员可见性都设置为“所有人”？
