as far as i know you can only do this if those users are part of an established group. if a topic is part of a category that only a specific group of users have access to, you can sort of accomplish this (unless you want to manually add posters of a topic to a group). tags can only be assigned to groups of users.

Actually, you can simply use @here. (But it is only for TL2 (although Admin can adjust it in settings))

My guess is that this should be the feature…
`@here` only brought me this hint

As far as I know, admin can be any trust level, I don’t know the mechanism behind it

What’s your sitesettings result of searching `here mention` ?

Yes.
Oh no I just realized I seem to have misunderstood you. If you need to @ all users of the whole site, try [@trust\_level\_0](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/trust_level_0) (You need to allow you @ this group first)

There’s also the `max users notified per group mention` setting you’d need to increase as well if you wanted to go down that route - default 100, though it can go quite high now:
Though I think people have traditionally preferred creating an `#announcements` style category or tag and setting that as ‘Watching First Post’ in either `default categories watching first post` or `default tags watching first post` so people will get a notification of any topics/announcements that way. This is considered a softer approach and allows people to ‘opt out’ if they want to.
