I know tag creation can be disabled for public roles, but is there anyway to fine-tune tag creation to be Admin roles only? We have a curated list that I’d like to keep curated by admins only. 

 

Or is there any code to hide “Add a New Tag” from the drop-down if an internal user is logged in, when they go create a post. 

 

 

Not that I’m aware of. 

You could do something like for visibility when new public tags are created. And then you could delete/edit, if necessary. 

 


Hi @DannyPancratz That’s a good idea! I already have a webhook set up to watch for new questions/ideas, setting one to watch for new Tags would also work. Also a good way to catch if anything is missing from our curated list. 

 

Thanks! 


That’s a creative idea @DannyPancratz !  We indeed otherwise don’t have a permission that’s so granular that you can stop your back-end users from adding new tags.  The only other point I’d make - and I know it’s a very obvious and unsatisfying one - would be to simply communicate and reiterate to non-admin team members not to create new tags when they’re working on topics.  Your situation might be very different, but in my experience teammates don’t tend to want to create new tags unless they’ve been instructed to do so or given some guidance.
