Policy for new account to change the initial password
Hello world,
we host mattermost by our own. So it is not allowed to register by your self. Our admin create the user with a initial password.
So it will be good, that the user have to change the initial password.
What do you think about it?

Add a search to the "Teams you can join" page
Yesterday I went to see if there was already a Python group in mattermost for my org, and when I tried to find one by scrolling through the existing groups it didn't seem to be there.
I created the page, and was then told that it did in fact exist, but it was a channel under another page. It turned into a big mess, but it could have been avoided if there was a search bar on the page where you check to see what groups already exist. We would want that search to also pick up public channels.

Read-only for external clients
It would be great to send secure links of an private channel to a client for status updates.
What i want to do is:
I want to start a new channel and write status updates or some information about the progress of an project.
External clients should be able to view this channel only and see what has been posted und get current state if they want.
But they should not be forced to register a new account. (Read/view only).4 votes -
Move thread to another chanel
Sometime, a thread is created in a channel that is the wrong one.
There should be a way to move this channel into another channel with all its answers (by the original user and/or admin).
This option could be added to the [...] menu of (the first?) message of a thread.

CMD/CTRL+K should use fuzzy find methodology
When you are using cmd+k to find a channel or person, it would be nice if it used a fuzzy find searching mechanism.
Example:
trying to find person a.lastName
searching: "alast" doesn't find anything currently since it requires you search "a.last"4 votes -
Prompt email-based accounts to re-auth using LDAP during migration period
Our organization wishes to use the new bulk export tool to migrate teams and users from our pilot server. This server used email-based accounts, and we are now using LDAP authentication on the new Enterprise server.
All of these accounts should have LDAP, but were created using email addresses that do not always map. We want users to be able to log in once with their old email authentication, then be prompted to log in again using their LDAP credentials.

Galera cluster support
Galera cluster provides multi master SQL database (e.g. upon MariaDB or MySQL) and can help strengthen the database backend. As it easy to deal with mattermost-server outages (simply run another instance very quickly), it is mostly painfull to deal with single DB outage.
Galera cluster can be supported in a direct way - add all db nodes to the configuration and use it in balanced way or as a fallback - or can be used via haproxy or similar.

Add download button for code block
When someone add code block using ``` add download option for that code block. Perfect option are download that code with automatically added extension from Syntax Highlighting (if used, if not .txt).
For example: download all code block with .sh extension. That option can be on three dots **, as delete option.4 votes -
Embed Calender, etc
It would be nice if there would be the possibility to create channels in which you could fix an embed content in the upper area. E.g. a Google calendar which shows the weekly overview or an external service for data storage etc..
Alternatively, a bot that writes the Daily Todos in a channel like slack would be possible: https://get.slack.help/hc/de/articles/206329808-Google-Kalender-f%C3%BCr-Slack

Miniature (icon) Mugshot in leftmost Direct Messages pane, shown before name
In the “Direct Messages” leftmost pane show a miniature mugshot, in addition to the persons name shown. The same mugshot /image as shown in message conversation list view.
Sometimes the name is not know or remembered, but the face is not easily forgotten (unless your blind) and might be recognized, when initiating a conversation.
My list contain about 100 developers, many with similarly sounding names and it would ease when trying to find the right developer.
When having many contacts often the names becomes very similar i.e John A Smith, John B Smith, John C Smith.
Which of those is…

Add support for Mattermost Custom URL scheme on macOS
Hello,
MacOS recently added support for custom URL schemes which allows other apps and browsers to open permalinks to content in the native app (rather than in the browser).
The use case would be that when you get an email to a Mattermost permalink, and you click on it in Safari, it'll open in the Mattermost app rather than a new tab in Safari.
The instructions to adopt custom URL schemes can be found here:
Thanks a lot for a great product!

Have the option for a test license for existing enterprise license holders
It would be incredibly helpful for enterprise license holders to be able to generate a sort of test license, so that they can set up a test instance with all the features of Enterprise instances (such as LDAP, SAML, etc) so they can test out their settings first before implementing them into their production instance.

Add an option to hide the menu bar
In the desktop client, it could be useful to have an option to hide the menu bar by default (Signal desktop has this, also an Electron-based app), since it's not used that much in day-to-day usage. It could appear when pressing alt (Signal does this, as well as Firefox). Ideally I'd like the application to be more in-line with Gnome design, using a headerbar, but I realize this would be larger thing, and may not be desirable in a third-party application…

Make the loading screen match the user's theme colour.
Hi!
At the moment, no matter which theme you have selected (dark, light), the startup / loading screen is white with blue logo.
My eyes adapt slowly to such strong shifts in brightness, and I would love it if would respect my preferences and be dark if a dark theme was selected.
I posted this as an issue on GIthub, but was asked to move it here: https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/issues/985

Allow the deletion of individual attachments from a post that has multiple attachments instead of needing to delete the whole post.
Posted two attachments with some text. Noticed one of the pictures was incorrect and made some changes to it and resubmitted it. However, I couldn't delete the old one while leaving the other attachment that was still valid.
