I’ve never written a plugin, but I was looking at this:

[https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-post-badges-plugin](https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-post-badges-plugin)

it looks like a great start… but I cant figure out how to find out who to display the badge info to (like restrict it to certain groups)
