Just to expand a bit on @mattdm’s response, below are the steps you can take to achieve this functionality 🙂 ### Step 1: Create a Tag Group 1. Go to your Tag Group panel. This can be accessed by appending `/tag_groups` to your forum’s URL (e.g., `https://yourforum.discourse.org/tag_groups`). 2. Here, click on the **New** button to create a new tag group. 3. Fill in the necessary details for your tag group: - **Name** : The name of your tag group. - **Tag names** : The tags that you want to include in this group. You can either select from existing tags or create new ones. - Optional settings such as visibility and whether tags are mandatory for certain categories can also be configured here. 1. Click on the **Save** button. ### Step 2: Restrict Use of Tags in the Group to Certain Users Below is an example where the `cicd-standard` tag is visible to all, but restricted to admin-bots etc ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/0/1/6/0167486d554d1051288249c4400e09f36c3b6138.png) You might have also missed this topic which also shows the feature. > [@Limit tag-groups to certain groups](https://meta.discourse.org/t/limit-tag-groups-to-certain-groups/130559): > > It would be cool if there was a way to limit the usage of tags from a tag group to certain groups. Currently only the settings “public” and “team” are possible. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-there-a-way-to-limit-who-can-use-a-certain-tag/298796)._
