Restricting members list

[savmoy]

Is there a way to prevent registered people from seeing the list of other registered people in the forum?
In other words, is it possible to have people registered to see just the posted topics list without being able to see the list of all the people that are   registered?

Thank you for your response.

Yes!

What shows under the "People" link is controlled by the "Show_group_members" permission. Go to:

Options > Users > Change permissions

and remove the check mark from any groups you don't want listed.

There is a limitation on this procedure. Because of spamers all valid registered people must be member, to have permission to post on my forum.

If I unmark registered on user>permission, despite I be admnistrator I don't see with people option the registered, and I never know if there is a diferente number of registered and members, meaning some one new has registered on my forum and want to be a member.

Only the email messages will alert me about new registration.

The section of management of user groups don't show the number of total  users in the groups, it shows only the user name and email.

Thank you.  It works!

 

I have one more question:  What is the difference between the Registered g and Members groups.
Aren’t registered people members by definition? If not how does a visitor become a Member?

 

Thanks again.

Maurice

We are straying into the world of technical terms. WIthin Nabble you need to distinguish between:

Registered - those who have recorded and proved ownership of a particular email address

Members - those who has specifically been placed in that group by an Administrator

In addition you need to be aware of two further classes of user:

Users - That's what I call anyone who accesses a forum. (You appear to call them "Visitors"). Within Nabble either term will cover those in the Anyone group.

Administrators - the person who created the forum, plus anyone else manually added to that group.

On top of them you are free to create as many further groups as you like. On some of mine I have created such groups as "Moderators", "Shareholders", "Sellers" and more. The users I place in these groups all have particular sets of permissions that allow them different levels of access to various sub-forums.

Take a look at my post at:

for ideas on how you make this all work.

It's not a limitation for the purpose asked about by the OP - but I accept your point.

The section of management of user groups don't show the number of total  users in the groups, it shows only the user name and email.

While it would be more convenient to have a that information build into Nabble, it's relatively easy to copy out the the lists of the two groups and place them in adjacent columns in a spreadsheet, sort them, and it then becomes easy to compare entries and count the numbers in each group.

If you look in the Sort Users topic in the Premium Support forum you'll see that there is work currently going on to provide macros that allow sorting of users within the Nabble interface.
