For example, we may want a specific tag called “Homepage”, and then display recent “Homepage” posts on our main website. If we allow all users to choose this tag, it would become a mess. So, I wonder if there is a way to achieve this end - that only certain (groups of) users can use certain tags.

Just to expand a bit on @mattdm ’s response, below are the steps you can take to achieve this functionality :slight_smile: Step 1: Create a Tag Group 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). Her…

Yes. You can create a tag group, and then restrict use of tags in that group to certain users (also by group, but a different kind of group!)

There is one caveat. If locale is another than EN automatic groups, as trustlevels etc, will use translated names. And those can’t be use. So if a tag group is allowed for TL3 then must create manually another group for TL3 (and higher). This is longtime bug or design issue. Perhaps it will be fix…

Hmm. I don’t think I’ve heard of that limitation. Have you got a bug topic you can link to?

Out there is at least two topics about that — one german, one is mine. I can’t remember where I published mine, can be at support too. It never raised any reactions, though. That’s why my bet goes on design issue :wink:

From a quick test, everything appears to be working as expected? This is the dropdown to select them: [trust level groups shown in tag group options]

I’ve continued the bug conversation over in Non-english automatic groups don't stick when applied to Tag Group visibility/usability restrictions - #17 by JammyDodger :+1:

C'è un modo per limitare chi può usare un certo tag?
