How do I add group titles?

[TwoBrake]

How would I add a group title for users that are in groups? For say, a user joins the moderator group, then they get a title called “Moderator”. How would I do this?

Hello @TwoBrake

Group titles can be achieved by doing this

Can I set a custom title on users that join a group?

We have a default title option in the group settings: [Screen Shot 2021-02-23 at 6.20.57 PM] The key here is that the group must also have the automatically set as primary group option enabled. And if the user has already manually selected a title in their user preferences, it won’t be overridden by a new group membership (I believe we always prioritize explicit user preference choices with automatic behaviors like this?). When they’re removed from the group, they’ll lose the title.

moderator group

This is an automatic group and if I recall correctly I don’t think it is possible to add a title to this type of group. You will have to add a title manually via the user admin page

Trust level groups do not matter if I delete them, correct? I would like to delete all groups and create new ones. I just want to know of that will break anything. Will it?

Automatic groups such as staff, trust_level_0 etc cannot be deleted.

How do I at least change their names? I have seen people do it before.

Hi again,

I’m a little bit confused about what you are asking. Username, name and title are three different things. Would you mind clarifying what you mean?

Thanks

Never mind, I figured out how to do it. Thank you for your help!
