  • Permission to tag taggable groups.
  • Admin privilege to view all taggable groups.
• User group mentions supports the following:
  • User profile posts/comments.
  • Posts/Threads.
  • Reports
• Opt-in, send an email to the user who is mentioned/quoted:
  • global option to enable/disable.
  • permission to receive mentioned emails.
  • configurable default for users on account creation.
