The problem I am currently having is that trusted user (TU) means two different things in site settings.
In “Trusted user can edit others”, TU means tl3 or above.
But in “new users must be explicitly invited by trusted users or staff.”, TU means tl2 or above.
We want our site to be invite-only. And we specifically want only tl3 and above to be able to send invites for reasons I shan’t go into here.
Can a feature please be added so that the tl for sending invites is customisable?
(Alternatively, please make TU always mean only tl3 and above. It’s very confusing having the same words mean two different things.)
You want site admin to set the trust level to send invites (eg: drop-down to select the trust level and that trust level user will be allowed to send invites)
The similar setting for sending pm invites
and both of these settings are currently hardcoded which needs to be made dynamic
@sam I think this line handles both(regular topics and PMs invite). I think it would make more sense to create a common setting for PMs and Topics and a separate one for forum invites? What do you think?
Sorry we left this in the air for so long… Yeah in the spirit of simplicity maybe just a single site setting min_trust_level_to_allow_invite then we don’t need to explain about all the different flavors of invite.
