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.7 votes -
emoji reaction keyboard shortcut
This was my most used shortcut in another messaging app that starts with an S and ends with an ack.
Also to then be able to select emoji with arrow keys and enter is crucial. Would even go a step beyond if shift enter allowed you to pick more than one emoji reaction! #Mindblown

Ability to Reply to Message with Webhook
It would be awesome for us, when something like this could be achieved:
I use a slash command in a thread (right side), the triggered post will include the parent message id.
Add the parent message id to incoming webhooks. So I can reply to a thread with webhooks.

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.

We use the favorite channels and direct messages, and therefore would like to collapse the public channels. Then channels with unread messages would only be shown.

Provide for multiple fonts
Recently the ability to choose fonts was removed. See https://forum.mattermost.org/t/removing-font-setting/3367. Now there is only one font, and it renders poorly for me (insufficient weight/contrast) on smaller high DPI displays. This makes the GUI very hard to use. Please provide a way to select among a set of fonts, or ideally specify my own.
Frankly the justification for removing the feature was weak. Let the user decide if the load time or other trade offs are worth the better rendering.

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?

calculator
In google search, when you prefix a search with "=", it automatically runs the search as a maths calculation. It would be great to have this in mattermost as well.
So if a message starts with a "=" and does not contain other text, it should be postfixed with the result of the calculation.1 vote -

Private message with authorized members only
Hi, (I am new to this forum but I have installed Mattermost in my organization)
Is it possible to add a new choice in the administrative console in the option “Allow users to open private message channels with” to request permission to create private messages with members who use the platform.
Currently, the configuration choices are:
All members of the team
Any user on the Mattermost server
and I would like to add :Only authorized members
To prevent all members from communicating privately without prior noticeIs it a good idea ?

I can search easily for a group name on iPhone, but there is not the same convenient matching feature on macOS.
I can search easily for a group name on iPhone, but there is not the same convenient matching feature on macOS. Also on iPhone, I see all unread messages at top of list, on macOS I have to scan the whole list to find unread messages. So the macOS client needs to catch up with the iPhone.

Restrict Direct Messages user list to the members of the currently viewed team
The DM user list can be very crowded. My suggestion is to restrict this user list to the members of the team that is currently selected in the Teams Sidebar, just like the way public channel list is implemented.
So the user list in the "Direct Messages" section will change when the user switches to a different team.

Modify a user via CLI
Would be nice to have the ability to update/modify a user via the CLI. Similarly to create user, you are able to set their name, email, etc. It would be nice to be able modify those details of an existing user via the CLI or even UI. I've found some user's end up entering their names all lower case or some don't even enter their details.

Delete an user's private conversations
In some cases we need to delete all private conversations from an old user but without deleting the user (so it doesn't break continuity in public conversations).
We use an SQL query:
SELECT DISTINCT Name FROM Channels INNER JOIN
(SELECT Id FROMUsersWHEREUsernameLIKE 'Foo')
sub ON Name LIKE concat('%', sub.Id, '%');
Then "platform channel delete" to delete the channels.But it would be much easier to have a CLI command that does this.

Android: fetch text in background for faster opening from notifications
We use Mattermost (self hosted) in a team of 30 people with about 20 channels.
On my medium performance phone (Xperia Z3) it can take quite a while (~20 seconds) from tapping a notification to showing the actual message, even in ok network conditions (WiFi or 3G+).
In the Desktop App, there's no such lags.I'd guess that by having the App run a background service which already fetches the text data for the channel triggering the notification could considerably speed up this use case.
