Some examples I can think of here:

  • Would love to have a way to manage the visibility of groups on the main groups page so I don’t have to show everyone in the community all the groups we have. In our case we have some groups have a narrow audience or are invite-only and won’t be open to others ever. Exposing these just makes for more noise even if private people request access. We also have some groups that we might run occasionally through the year but not want to merchandize all the time. (and yes I know I can use categories for this as a workaround)
  • Ways to limit the number of group members. For example I might want to have a group for a regional roundtable of CPOs and open it up to a max of X members and no longer accept new requests
  • Some way to filter for and/or find groups. This would be helpful when you have a larger number of groups. Tags per group, ability to search for a group by name.
  • Alternate ways to view the list of groups - not just the current layout, but maybe a list view
  • Group notifications

Hi @Scott Baldwin,
Thanks for posting!

I see that there are multiple ideas included in this post. I would like to ask you to post them separately so when we are gathering votes, we can keep the conversations around them distinct. 

I was also wondering about the first bullet point in your post. What do you think about these ideas:

Would setting permissions for visibility of groups (among other things) like we do for the Community and Knowledgebase categories solve your use case?

@Ati Somos yes being able to set role-based permissions on groups would help. Assuming then that this would mean users would only see groups that are allowed with their role or custom role (as we do with categories and recommended topics). Added my vote.

I will open up new IDEAS for each of the other items. You can close this off.

See:

which replace the above items.

Thank you @Scott Baldwin!
