The new members categories are a useful feature for managing users but I'd like to make a few suggestions to improve their usability;
- Allow the ability to assign categories by non-admin users. We have custom user roles who can manage users but they can't currently assign categories.
- Make the assignment of categories a part of the user creation process otherwise it can be missed as it needs to be done later from the members list.
- Add a filter in the members list for users who have no category assigned. This will make assigning users much easier.
- Allow the creation of different category groups at the first level so more then one category can be assigned. At the moment you create categories and then the sub categories in a hierarchy but what if you need different category themes at the first level?
- Allow categories to be added via a csv file.
- This is already listed as an idea but adding categories to reports would really help with our user admin.
Thanks
