jamesaustin is seeking a way to grant Trust Level 4 (TL4) members access to the admin “Flagged Posts” list, without promoting them to moderator, which would expose other members’ emails. Unfortunately, codinghorror states that this is currently not possible.
As an alternative, jamesaustin suggests exposing the “Take Action” action to TL4 members, allowing them to clear flags on auto-locked threads.
nevir offers to contribute to a solution and proposes several options, including allowing TL4 members to manage flags, hiding email addresses from TL5, or adding an option to do so.
However, ondrej provides a workaround, suggesting the use of Category Group Review Moderation, which allows staff to manage flags without accessing the admin dashboard.
We would like our Trust Level 4 members to help us process Flagged posts.
We can’t promote members outside of our organising to moderator because it would expose other members emails.
In similar queries on the Discourse forum, a common response has been that TL4 should have the permissions required to help moderate the communities but from outside the organisation. But I can’t see any options for allowing them access to the admin “Flagged Posts” list.
Is there a way for us to give TL4 members access to the Flagged Posts list? Or are we Discoursing wrong?
Alternatively, is there a way to expose the “Take Action” action to TL4 members?
Would it be possible to expose the flag post “Take Action” action to TL4 members? This would allow them to clear flags on auto-locked threads without needing access to the full “Flagged Posts” list.
You can now use Category Group Review/Moderation to help your staff manage flags. This is the list of powers available to them. They cannot access the admin dashboard but they can handle flags.
