Disable join/leave messages globally
It would be nice to disable the join/leave messages independently from the user specific setting. We use a channel to post anonymous posts via a bot. People can see who joined and see a link to an anoynmous post.

Restore a deleted channel
We would like to be able to restore deleted channels. One of which this can be done is to have a trash box of all deleted channels, of which we can restore back to in case we would like to reopen it.

Adding users to group DM should provide an option to keep history
When you have a multi user direct message and you add new members (as a conversation grows to need more people) you end up creating a new DM with no history. Instead mattermost should provide an option to keep the history available.

search in bots' messages
We use MM EE integrate with GitLab EE, so "bots" from GitLab post issues / comments / merge requests to our channels. Today I discovered that MM Search feature does not search (or index?) messages send by such bots as it does not consider them as char participants (from: autocomplete does not offer bots' names, only humans). Is there a setting affecting this or it's by design? Thank you.

EE: Provide controls for creation of public and private channels at the team level
The global channel settings aren't flexible enough create teams with differing levels of channel security. Please consider adding the public & private channel settings at the team level.
Simplistic example:
Team A: invite only with the creation of public rooms disabled Team B: public team, with the creation of public rooms enabled Team C: public room with the creation of public rooms disabled3 votes -
Add GPG signed and encrypted notifications (end to end)
As administrator I want to restrict notification messages sent from my self-hosted mattermost server to be GPG signed and encrypted.
That means, if a user hasn't uploaded a GPG public key to his account, notifications sent to him only contain some metadata or nothing at all.
If a user has uploaded a GPG public key, then the notification message is encrypted for him as receiver, so only he can read it.
The notification message shall be signed in any case with the private key that I configured in my mattermost server.Motivation: transport layer security between the mattermost server and…

Method to get/export channel member list
Sometimes it would be handy to export a list of channel members for example to form an emailing list or something. Can't find a way to do this either on UI or with commandline tools. Ideally it would be configurable to get Name or Email or both.

Chatting to Golang Bot through direct message
Hello, I have the golang bot implemented into a mattermost channel.
It would be helpful to have an option for users to ask the bot questions in a Direct message as opposed to just a public channel.
I feel that this would encourage users to use the bot more and help shy users as well. That way there can be some sort of privacy between users.
Also, a way to have a log for Admins to keep track of what questions are being asked will be helpful in developing the bot further.36 votes -

Report duplicate AD/LDAP information rather than setting usernames to random strings every hour
When the AD/LDAP User Filter is too permissive, multiple user objects with the same Email Attribute may be returned. When this happens, and the Username Attribute is not present on the returned value, Mattermost may reset the username of the existing user with the same email address to a random string. This repeats every 60 minutes (or whatever the Synchronization Interval is set to).
For example, if two LDAP objects are returned:
{ userclass=contact, email=myusername@example.com }
{ userclass=user, sAMAccountName=myusername, email=myusername@example.com }In this case, Mattermost may cause username@example.com's account to have its user id changed to a…

Ability to search all content (FOIA)
Sorry if this is already a feature (I'm a Mattermost noob) but I haven't found a way of doing this yet...
If we are going to implement this, we WILL need a way to search all content (Public/Private channels, Direct messages and Archived) for legal queries!
This is a basic requirement of all software we implement within Government!
Note: I am currently using the Team edition as a trial, so maybe it is a feature in the Enterprise version??

Add a system console option to hide the "Leave Team" button
For instances that only use one team, the option to leave the team is not useful.
Please add an option to the system console to hide the button or add a user permission for this function.
The user permission would be the preferred way to handle this to be prepared for growing instances.4 votes -
Limit direct messages per User
We would like the users to focus on channels. Although we do not want to disallow direct messaging at all.
It would be amazing if we could set a direct message limit per day.
For example: User X is allowed to send 20 direct messages per day, while User Y can send unlimited direct messages.
With this feature we don't limit the users too much, but we also make sure that important information is held in the channels.

Support for nosql database
Considering the benefits of data analytics for such kind of apps, don't you think support for a nosql database would help. Also, if you want to scale it to a million users; will a rdbms solution support that?

Blacklist certain file types from being uploaded to Mattermost
Sample use case: Block .exe files from being uploaded to prevent malicious executables from being downloaded.
In addition to .exe, also interested in blocking PDF files and compressed files.

direct message
Improve search/filter during direct message.
With more than 100 users, it is really tough to find the user for DM through scrolling. Sometimes the user only know the first name and not last name... or worse, can only guess the spellingWould be great if we could use
"mochi"
to find
"masashi-mochizuki"

allow admins to set the default channels when a member joins
It was nice in Slack to say for the batch of invitees that have been recently invited that they be thrown into channels x, y, z instead of having to manually Add Member to varying channels or ask them to seek out channels and add themselves.
128 votesHey all! The work has now started and we’ve released an experimental setting for default channels.
System Admins can configure default channels via config.json, here is more information about it https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/config-settings.html#default-channels-experimental
Big thanks to @dschalla for contributing this improvement!
