Hi,
I have created a public forum.
I would like now to create categories only open to people who will have subscribed to one for my training courses.
I read the best way to do it is to create a group and allow this group on a Category.
But how can the users subscribe to this group?
Can I automatically send them a link, a password, an invitation?
Thanks.
Ced.
Hello on the group press this:
Add Members
In addition regarding
there are may settings for this you can play around with:
Welcome to the official discourse community!
What you are trying to do is allowing a specific group to see/create/reply in a specific category.
Fortunately for you, there are many options for groups. When you create a group, you can go to the settings and edit it to be public, private, or join by request. If you select the third option, a message will be sent to the owner(s) of the group and they will choose whether to allow the user to join the group or reject the application. If you want to have a group, where anyone can join, you just select the second option.
Configure private / closed group access, membership and visibility gives details about setting up a group so that users can access it. (That topic needs to be renamed and/or linked to other howto topics so that it is more easily searchable.)
Site admins and group owners can invite users to Discourse and include a list of group names in the invite. Users will be automatically added to the groups when they accept the invitation. This topic gives more details: Configure how users can create and send invites for others to join your community.
Another way to add users to a group is to use the Data Explorer plugin to write a query that returns a list of usernames or email addresses of users who should be added to a group. The results of the query can be copied into the group’s Bulk Add to Group form.
Users can also be added to groups through the Discourse API.
Is there any Zapier integration?
There is a search feature. Adding howto to the words often helps.
I see that I can create a link to allow people to join the group but this link is not generic, it is specific to an email address or user.
Is there anyway to create a link for the group that would work for anyone I would send the email to?
我是 talk.newpathconsulting.com 上的 Discourse 的管理员。当我查看我之前创建的一个名为“staff”的群组时，我无法添加成员或更改与谁可以加入相关的任何设置。当我创建新群组时，我可以设置这些选项。
可能是什么问题？这是我的群组管理界面——缺少“添加成员”按钮……
“Staff”是管理员和版主的自动分组。您确定是自己创建的，还是重新使用了现有的分组？您创建的分组可能现在被视为与不可自定义版本相同。
您能否创建一个新的分组？
也许我用了现有的。已经很久了——我将尝试创建一个新的，其中包含我们的团队员工。
您也可以将这些成员设为版主或管理员，然后他们就会出现在该组中。
但您可能更愿意创建一个仅供您的员工使用的新组（也许您不希望您的所有员工都成为 Discourse 的“员工”，即版主或管理员）。
您还可以配置该组，以便来自您组织的电子邮件地址的人员自动添加到该组中。
