一个群组的成员任命和移除另一个群组的成员

[Meteor0id]

我缺少一项功能，该功能允许一个组的成员任命和移除另一个组的成员。我们希望信任少数成员来管理另一个组的成员（但不是让他们成为版主）。

Tricky problem from a UI perspective. At the moment group owner is part of the group, we would have to decouple it so group ownership is independent.

I do recall this popped up at least one time in the past, perhaps you can help find the previous discussions on meta.

Yea I realize that, yet it seems like the logical next evolutionary step to be able to do more with these groups. It’s what is needed to let some users decide which other users may join a certain category and carry a certain badge, without promoting them to moderator or admin.

I haven’t found it yet.

Note that I am not requesting a feature to let members of a group add others to their own group, but rather to let members of group A decide who is in group B while only moderators and admins can decide who is in group A. Just clarifying that some further.

There should actually be a couple of ways members of one group can add members to another group:

• If group B has join requests enabled: Members of group A can accept or decline join requests for group B. Group B would have to be visible to the entire forum or to at least some other group, otherwise no one can send any join requests.
• If members of group A have permission to force add members to group B: Members of group A can add forum members to group B (forced join). The group could be a hidden group.

So those are two different permissions: permission to force join people, and permission to approve or decline requests.

Building further on that system you could say only members of some group may be added to some other group but that’s a whole next level beyond this feature request.

这将非常有帮助，并且很好地补充了类别版主功能。在我们的用例中，每个类别有两个组：版主、成员。理想情况下，版主也是成员的所有者。这意味着当管理员将某人添加到版主组时，他们会被添加为成员组的所有者。

我不确定您是否指的是这个帖子，@sam？这是我能找到的唯一一个与此主题相关的有价值的帖子。

Group owners should not necessarily be group members

On my site I have a use case for people being given the privilege of managing group membership without being a member of the group themselves. I assumed this is how it worked and was surprised to see that someone I added as group manager is now also a group member. The use case? We use groups to assign badges. And to give access to private categories. And the people responsible for doing this are not always group members. Edit: having noticed this, I then removed some group owners only to real…

Group owners should not necessarily be group members

Sure, I am open to disconnecting the two permissions.

Group owners should not necessarily be group members

Any chance the goal of “group owner does not need to be group member” with stretch goal of “group can be named as owner of another group” would be suitable for a GSoC project?

Group owners should not necessarily be group members

Very unlikely, way too small of a job. Group can be owner of another group is not even something I would be comfortable adding.

我想了解一下这方面的内容是否在路线图上。

此功能，以及 Add an option to restrict onboarding and user managment to a subgroup of moderators 中的功能，都在我关于更好“正式社区支持”的愿望清单上。
