I am confused that I have some people at two trust levels:
trust\_level\_0, trust\_level\_1
It seems like once you move to level 1, level 0 should go away. . . . or am I missing something?
* * *
edit: is it possible to search for trust\_level\_0, but not trust\_level\_1?
I have 3 people that fall into this category. I want to move all of my current users to level 1

To reply your first question: this is correct. Users at TL0 have certain permissions, while users at TL1 have all the permissions of TL0 plus some more. And so on for further trust levels.
For your second question: you should be able to see a list of users at TL0 at `/admin/users/list/newuser` (this is also accessible from the main admin dashboard in the “Users by trust level” table).

This is a structural oddity of discourse that took me a while to get a handle on as well, but I have come to appreciate it with time. It’s a great feature.
That said, it’s unnecessarily confusing for community members who don’t really care about the internal workings of discourse, so I think it’s a good idea to shield them from it. There is an open #Contribute > Feature request to only show one trust level badge, which would go a long way to doing that.

If a user has TL2 badge, I’d like their user card to not also show the TL1 badges. Is there a way to make this happen?

What the Trust Level badges signify _is_ available.
If you go to the various Trust Level badges you can see
> This badge is granted when you reach trust level …
That is, “when you reach” and _not_ “when you are”
In other words, the granting of Trust Levels are more like “milestones” than “current level”, though the current level is the highest reached and Trust Level 3 should probably say “reach and maintain” as it can be un-granted.
In explaining that, I see it can be a bit confusing, can’t it?
