Re: Proposal: custom role labels
Hi, To clarify: in this context, labels and types are synonymous. Cheers, Joseph
From: main@beta.groups.io <main@beta.groups.io> On Behalf Of Joseph Lee via Groups.Io
Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2019 3:47 PM To: beta@groups.io Subject: [beta] Proposal: custom role labels
Hi all, One of my groups uses a system where one or more users are given special privileges for performing specific tasks. Because these tasks are close to moderator role in privileges, members are flagged as moderators. This leads to a possible confusion where people assume the member is a moderator when in fact they are not.
Thus I would like to propose allowing groups to specify a limited number of custom role types. A custom role type is initially based on an existing role (for instance, a moderator) with specific permissions applied. For example, a role of “database manager”, based on “moderator” role, can be given specific permissions on databases only, and an “archivist” can be given specific permissions on archive management without being flagged as a moderator.
Given that custom role types might be abused by those who may not know what’s going on, I propose placing certain limits. One possible limit might be that custom role types can only be managed by list owners. Another approach is using similar principles as integration limits – owners of free groups can set a limited number of custom role types, with enterprise groups having unlimited custom role types.
Comments are appreciated. Thanks. Cheers, Joseph

Re: Please Disable Collapse of Log Entries

What do you mean by "moderation responses" - are you talking about pending message rejections? Those don't seem to be collapsed.

Seems like the example is only for Direct Adds? That doesn't happen with rejection notices in my group. I haven't checked invitations or Direct Adds (my Direct Add notices are very short anyway).

Please Disable Collapse of Log Entries
#suggestion
When I view the Activity Log in my main group, all entries initially show up complete, but then the long ones collapse down to two lines of text and an ellipsis. At that point there is no means available to "click open" the entry and read the whole thing.
This seems to occur mostly with invitations or moderation responses; see attached screenshot for some recent examples. I've been unable to determine at exactly how many characters this breakpoint occurs. Please provide some means by which log entries can be viewed in their entirety. Thanks, Bruce

I am eager for the same changes to be made for Rejected Subscription.A concrete example in real-time, today: I need to reject a pending subscription sent by someone from a second email address. To do that, I need to go into Member Notices and make "duplicate application" the "active" rejection notice; go back into pending members and reject the subscription' and then go back into Member Notices and either edit that notice to remove the "active" designation, or make a different one the active one. This needs to be done, by hand, every time you reject a subscription. Since rejecting a subscription is under moderator control and not triggered automatically (like leaving a group or applying for membership are), I see no reason for an "active" designation requiring all of these contortions. Just let mods pick the notice at the time they do the action. I think this reasoning applies to all events under moderator control, rather than ones triggered by members requiring a notice to actually go out automatically. There's no need for an automatic, and therefore no need for an "active," notice in these cases. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones.

Re: Feature Request- 'Your Groups' menu
#suggestion
Gerald, I was hovering over the group labelled simply "main". The related hover text at the bottom left corner shows the actual group. I don't know if showing only "main" by itself is a bug or if this related to a group owner having an empty description string or such. Both, I think. This looks like a case such as Bruce reported, where you are a member of the primary group but none of the subgroups. So the code (now) avoids breaking out a separate line to show the domain.
The contributing factor is that the group owner didn't set a Title for the group, unlike these others you cite. The bug is that the code shows only the primary group's name and not its subdomain. For this case I think the display should be: subdomain | name / Title Where the "/ Title" part would be missing if left blank by the group owner. Shal

I agree that we are going back in the right direction. I do see another issue as shown in this screen snip.

I don't know if showing only "main" by itself is a bug or if this related to a group owner having an empty description string or such. In any case, I can see where there might be a potential for multiple groups having the same string of text. In my case, I also have a couple other groups that show up as main / xxxxxx, so it makes it a bit tricky to scan down the list to find the group you are looking for. -- Gerald

Re: Feature Request- 'Your Groups' menu
#suggestion
Mark,
Go to https://groups.io/groups?test=1 ... to see how it looks withI like that. One tweak is that it needs truncation at a reasonable width for the row. Right now an overly long Title text causes the entire page to widen (horizontal scroll bar) to accommodate the whole text (apparently - I didn't try a really absurdly long title). My window (Firefox) switches to mobile format at 770 pixels wide, deduct the start position of the drop list, and the width of the vertical scroll bar, and that would be a suitable maximum width for the drop control -- the vertical scroll would always be available on any display that shows it (without having to horizontally scroll the page). I don't know if there are group names out there long enough to make that ad-hoc width suggestion clip off the entire Title, but I'm tempted to say that they deserve what they get. ... but I know of at least one enterprise group that would need to"Need" might be too strong a word, but if they set those Titles since last month's change then perhaps they'll be relieved to be able to put their original Titles back ... ;-) Shal

If you were only subscribed to a main group and no subgroups, the behavior was changed, to be more consistent with how we display other subgroup subscriptions. I have rolled that change back.
