Moderation group limited 3 users

Product Support

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around a limitation on the number of users in a moderation group, with the user solarsimon initially believing it was capped at 3 users, possibly due to a free plan. Heliosurge suggests upgrading or using a Sub Moderator option for flag management. cocococosti clarifies that self-hosted instances should not have such limits, and Heliosurge confirms this. solarsimon later realizes the issue was in the process—users must be set as moderators via their user options rather than directly from the group page, and the topic is closed.

Hi there,
i would like to add more users to my moderation group. Apparently its limited to 3 users. I heard this is normal on a free plan.
I moved discourse recently to self hosted. So is the size of my moderation group still limited? If not, how do i remove the limit from my instance?

Not sure on paid hosting.

You could likely upgrade tier.

Another option is you could enable a Sub Moderator Option in your Categories setting called Moderation and allow a Group to mabage Flags.

They won’t have higher Mod Functions but can addressed flagged posts.

If you are self hosted you shouldn’t have a limit. What kind of error are you seeing when trying to add more moderators?

Good catch missed he said he went to self hosted. So yeah no limits there.

Oh my bad, I was trying to add users to the group straight from the group page.
Meanwhile I figured out I have to make them moderators from their user options.

Thanks for response.
