Hi,

I have a forum subcategory with read, write, reply on it from a group I set.  
From this forum subategory I made a chat channel (so with same permissions)

But when I @ this group in this chat channel, I have a message telling me:  
”xxxx and 205 other users cannot access this channel and were not notified”

But they are all in the group I’m trying to tag and permissions are set properly. Why do I get this message? How can I make it work like intended?

Every help would be welcome, it’s a real problem for us at the moment.
