In the founder’s analogy of dining at a restaurant: Can we assign users to a particular room, at a particular table (and ensure no one else not at that table can join the conversation)? Can users at one table interact with users at another table, within the same room (and ensure no one else from d…

So yes, there are Groups, so you could put all users at a table in a group. You can then create a category setting the permissions so only that group can create/reply/see topics in it. (scenario 1?) You can create categories that permit 2 or more groups to be able to create/reply/see topics in it.…

Hi cpradio, Thanks for the information. I have created 1 group and have added 1 user to that group. I can only see that group and user in the Admin page after I click on Groups. See screenshot below. My questions are: Is there another place where I can see my group I created within Discourse ins…

There is no groups “index” page, And other than getting to a group page from a link in a Profile, you need to know the group name. The URL is like {domain_here}/groups/{group_name_here} eg. Discourse Meta On that page there are Posts Topics Mentions Members Messages

I found it. When I go to my profile, I can see the groups that I’m in highlighted in blue. Now that I’m on the group page, can I post a topic within the group or do I have to do that on the index page? Is the admin of the group the only person that can post a topic? Thanks.

AFAIK the group admin was created to allow non-group members to admin the group. eg. add members, remove members. I don’t fully understand the need for this, but others asked for it and now it’s there. The groups pages are more like the Users page except they currently have no filtering or orderin…

Perhaps this is now broken but you cannot grant access to a catagory based on groups, only by trust level.

You definitely can grant category access based on groups, I’m using it right now. After creating a group, you need to go to the category’s preferences, then the “security” tab

Strange. That’s exactly what I did but groups don’t show only trust levels.

Oh. OK. Seems the category must exist first and can’t be new, then it works. My bad.

[תמונה] Gaz_Hs: Seems the category must exist first and can’t be new, then it works. My bad. If that’s the case I would assume it’s a bug . Just to verify, you are saying that if you make a new category, the security tab only shows trust levels 0-4, everyone, admin, moderators, and staff, but…
