Hi @Kamil Let me know if I'm understanding this correctly, you have two different groups and want to make sure if you grant the GroupMember role to one of these groups, it does not give them permissions for the second group, correct? Groups function slightly differently from boards in this sense, you can permission them like you would a board, but they have their own independent set of permissions to play with within the Group portion of the Admin panel. If I'm understanding your case correctly, go to the Group Admin panel: Navigate to the group, select options, and click Group Admin; or navigate to the group via the "choose" button at the top of the community admin landing page. Make sure the top of the admin panel indicates you are in the specific group you want to remain exclusive. Any users you add via the Members tab there will be exclusive to that group and hold GroupMember permissions in that group only. You should not need to clone or add any new roles at the global level. If you need change the permissions for these GroupMembers: Go to the "Group Roles" tab in the same area. You'll see an edit button for GroupMember, click that. Edit the permissions as you see fit. These changes will only affect the members for the group you're in. These permission changes will not affect the GroupMember role across multiple groups. If that's not the case or you have any questions, please let me know! Regards

Hi @adsk_cmgrs This is an excellent question. For the Lithium Community in particular, we follow these practices: Add a role that denotes they're no longer with company. Ban the account In the ban message, we encourage them to make a new account and that they're more than welcome to continue contributing to the community. Upon request, we transfer all event-based/certification badges that were earned as an employee. So their metrics may need to be re-earned and are considered account based, their outside accomplishments are still recognized on the community. The important thing, IMO, is to make things very clear in the ban message that the account ban is for organizational purposes and that the person is not banned from the community.

Hi @MarkAtTruth That is true. In this instance, I'm specifically referring to the leaderboard components on the community itself which has been set to exclude the Lithium role, along with any other administrative roles. -Ken

@MarkAtTruth Yes, that is how we have set up the leaderboards on the Lithium Community, we exclude employees by their role. -Regards

Hi @Lamia_HEAVEN This should be under your admin panel under Features -> Kudos. There should be a field to exclude roles called "Top Kudoed Authors component:Roles to exclude." You can put the Community Manager or equivalent role in this field to have them excluded from the Top Contributors component. -Ken
