Hi,
How do I change the group settings so that when members use @ symbol only members of that group show up (right now everyone in all groups shows up)?

Users can be a member in multiple groups at the same time. How would the system know which group’s members to display?

I just wondered if I could set which members a group would see within a category. My group only has access to one category and has all their interactions in that category (online interactive course).

And this is specifically with regards to tagging people to review their homework. I don’t want them to have to go to a spreadsheet to find member names.

This suggestion is what I wrote about here:
> [@User mention search should prioritize users with access to the current category](https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-mention-search-should-prioritize-users-with-access-to-the-current-category/117319):

> If I’m writing a post in a category where only some users have access, the mention search (@username) should list users with access to the category first. I would go as far that it should prioritize more active members too, when a full match happens anywhere. Eg: Typing @arpit and none of the options contain @techAPJ, while showing users that doesn’t visit in years, have zero posts, etc.
