EE: Allow administrators to turn off the ability to create channels to normal users
I would like to add the ability for administrators to completely turn off the ability to create channels for regular users at the site and team levels.
This way, an organization can ensure that only an approved set of channels are created and used.

Allow migration of users (e.g. to LDAP) using RESTful API and Go API
It's great that Mattermost now supports LDAP/AD. Unfortunately the only way to migrate existing users (we pre-create the users) to LDAP is through the CLI. Since all our work is being done using programs (on other servers) written in Go, we'd love to see the ability to migrate users en masse or individually using the Go API. And, it just seems natural to allow such migration using the RESTful API as well.
1 voteThanks for the feature idea! This is now available on Mattermost servers v4.6 and later: https://api.mattermost.com/#tag/users%2Fpaths%2F~1users~1%7Buser_id%7D~1auth%2Fput

Zoom video meetings integration
Make an integration for Zoom. In slack, you could type
/zoom [meetingnumber], and join a meeting (if the meeting number was supplied), or start up a new meeting. I miss this dearly

Delete User (to be GDPR conform)
The european unions new general data protection regulation grants user the "right to be forgotten" (Article 17, GDPR). Event though Art. 17. (1) a. grants the exception, that data does not have to be deleted if it is still necessary for the purpose it was collected or processed, it is questionable if this exception is applicable.
I understand the effort to maintain a consistent history of conversations and interactions and therefore not implementing a deletion of users and the work it takes to implement a compromise between guranteeing the data subjects right to be forgotten and consistent conversation history.
Still…
1 voteWe do have a CLI tool for deleting a user that I think should cover what you’re looking for: https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/command-line-tools.html?highlight=cli#platform-user-delete
Let us know if it looks like that will work, or if there’s anything missing from it!

Link to a channel in chat like #announcements
It would be nice if I can point to an other cahnnel. Mostly useful for public ones, like:
free beer! find details in #announcements
but it would be even better if we can point to any other, maybe in other team too.1 voteThanks Tamás for the feature idea!
This is in fact available on Mattermost with the ~-sign. For instance, you can post:
> free beer! find details in ~announcements

Android App: Notification on Timeout or Logout
Send Android Users a Notification if they have been logged out.
We previously had session lengths of 1 month. After that, the App silently just doesn't send any more notifications about messages and users forget about it.
Only if you open the App directly, you'll see that you have been logged out.1 voteHey all,
Thanks for the report. We’ve identified the issue and fixed it in v1.13. You should receive a push notification after the session expires informing that happened.
Note that for the fix to take effect, you would need to log in with v1.13. So you might see your session expire without receiving a push notification one more time, but you should receive that notification thereafter.
Mattermost v5.4 also adds a session expiry notification for the desktop app and desktop browser.

Option to have permanent sessions on mobile apps, manageable on the server
After logging in to the server on a mobile app the server should assign a permanent session to the app. This avoids the necessity of re-loggin in to mobile apps.
In order to keep security the user should be able to view logged in session ("devices") on the server an be able to log them out if necessary.1 voteThank you Andreas! Both of these can actually be achieved today:
1. Your System Admin can configure how long mobile sessions last in System Console > Security > Sessions > Session length for mobile apps. https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/config-settings.html#sessions
2. Each user can view logged in sessions in Account Settings > Security > View and Logout of Active Sessions. Your System Admin can also revoke all sessions from a user in System Console > Users if necessary.

Message preview for Android notifications
The system notifications triggered by Mattermost don't include a message preview (only a message "@xyz sent you a direct message" with "@xyz sent you a direct message" as preview), even if "show content" on lock screen is activated for Mattermost notifications. It would be nice to have message previews.
1 voteThanks for the feedback!
This is in fact available, but your System Admin might have restricted what information is included in push notifications. We provide three options:
– General description with only the sender’s name
– General description with user and channel names
– Full message snippet including a message previewYou can contact your System Admin to see which option they’ve chosen. More information here: https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/config-settings.html#push-notification-contents

Use the actual group url as the invite url
Why use a separate URL to invite people to a group on mattermost?
It seems like there would only be an advantage to keeping the URLs separate if someone could visit a page without actually joining it, but that isn't the case.
When someone (for the first time) tries to use the URL that we see in the address bar when looking at the group they don't actually make it to the page. Instead they are redirected to the default home page.
1 voteGreat suggestion Vincent! This is in fact fixed in v5.1 release coming on July 16th.
With that release, when the user clicks on a link to a specific channel outside of Mattermost, and goes through the account creation process, they will land on the channel they intended to view.
More details are included in this ticket: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-9479
If you see any issues with this functionality on the v5.1 release, let us know!

Hide the SMTP server password from system console
The system console shows the SMTP server password in clear. No other application/website with sane defaults does that. Some offer a button next to the password field to reveal the password temporarily, so the user can make sure no one is standing next to them who could see the secret.
I actually consider this a bug, but it was rejected as such: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/10909

Ignore slash commands containing slashes
Typing (or, more likely, pasting) a file path such as /data/some/thing in a post causes an error "Command with a trigger of data/some/thing not found". This happens surprisingly often in my workplace.
While the error does of course make sense and there are other things the user can do, I think it would be more user-friendly to disallow forward slashes in the names of actual slash commands, and do not attempt to process a word as a slash command if it contains slashes.
0 votesThe error message now also includes the option “Click here to send as a message”.
