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 ?

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.

Include channel creation and management restrictions in team edition
I know these features were left out of Team Edition to keep it simple, but these options are present in the config.json file.
Enabling this features from just the config.json file would keep the team edition ui simple, but give smaller teams the same ability to control the whims of their users

100% Slack Compatible Webhooks
I would like Mattermost to be able to consume any Slack-compatible webhook. It is very frustrating that I have to build a tool to proxy webhooks from GitHub for example.

Delete user avatar from CLI
We need a way to delete an user avatar with the CLI tool.
Currently we delete the in data/users/ manually but it would be easier if we could do it by using the email instead of the ID.1 vote -

Add a config show cli command
For troubleshooting purposes it would be handy to have a
platform config showcommand that lists the effective configuration values. Thus, overriding environment variables must be considered. At least from the wording ofplatform config validate('The document is valid'), it seems that environment variables aren't considered.There could be filters to mangle the output, but
grepis fine, imo.1 vote -

allow users to 'follow' others to create a filtered feed view.
Currently we have an in-built equality of posts which can become inefficient with high volume.
Recognizing the importance of hubs in scale-free network growth, we could allow for a filtered view of the main town-hall feed, where you just saw the posts (and related threads) of those you choose to follow.
One could also toggle back to the unfiltered view, but allowing people to cluster could make high volume teams more manageable.
Unlike Facebook, the user would remain in control - with no algorithm and the ability to toggle back to the unfiltered view.

Add emoji management via API
It would be nice to be able to add / remove custom emojis via API. Then it would be very simple to propose complete packs of custom emojis and apply them.

Allow to create a private Slash commands (only available for one user)
It could be interesting to add per user slash command.
For example, I use an RSS integration which allow me to manage my RSS feeds from Mattermost with Slash commands. I would like to set this command as private, to avoid other user to manage my feeds.3 votes -
Provide Channel description in tooltip in the left panel
Provide Channel description in tooltip in the left panel
Currently, we need to go to the channel, then click on the little arrow, then View Info
Personally, I spent 5 minutes to find this kind of information when I was checking that I didn't miss something and it is not yet available somewhere easily

Improve customization of push notification messages
Currently push notifications have very limited customizing potential. There is support to provide localized content, but the code assumes always prepends the sender's name to the notification text.

Custom intro text for system, team and channels
Custom intro text for a system, team or channel, similar in set up to Custom Tutorial Text with markdown support and preview, that is displayed to a user when joining a specific system, team or channel, and the user needs to hit "Okay" to dismiss. The user should be able to find the message in the system, team or channel settings to review the info.
Requesting this because often organizations want to share more about the purpose of their Mattermost deployment, and include different links, e.g. link to naming conventions to use for channels, an internal user's guide to the…

filter channels/users in the sidebar
It would be fantastic to have the option to search/filter in the sidebar.
In big organizations where you talk to many people, sometimes the sidebar gets enormous. A search field in top of the sidebar will allow to filter it and also search (when pressing Return)It "should" keep the headers (favorites, channels, users) to keep it simple.

possibility to re-link uploaded images
When you upload or drag'n'drop an image to mattermost, that image gains a new name that does not end with an image extension, thus if you try to "copy image location" or use the "copy public link" from mattermost their will give u a link that you can paste back to matter most to re-link the image in a preview mode.
A copy public link will look like:
And copy image location will look like:
https://pre-release.mattermost.com/api/v3/files/zkqjspdektrqjde9xqnp7ef1er/get_preview
As you can see neither end with a image extension and so if I simple paste it back in a message it will…

Show the channel the incoming webhook has been set to
Currently I cannot find a way to know for which channel has been configured an incoming webhook (in my case, for integration with GitLab).
In the "Integrations/Incoming Webhooks" section, just appear the name of the webhook and the webhook URL it self, without saying for which channel has been set, and the option of deleting it. And in the GitLab side there's no way to know for which channel will be triggered the hook.
This come become a problem when you have several webhooks and channels.

Use the "fallback" field from Slack's webhook attachment format as text for notification, when the provided text is empty.
The slack attachment format defines a fallback field, that is required for attachments to be valid, and is used when the full-formatted message is not usable in a particular context (e.g. text-mode clients, notifications).
For example, Slack uses that fallback field for the text of notifications. I believe that Mattermost should do the same.
That would require changes on the webhook-related code, on the format of the post object that is forwarded in Javascript, and on the code that generates the text shown in notifications. I could work on a PR if you are favorable to the idea.

Restore should be in Team edition or Channel delete in Team edition should be permanent
If i delete a channel i cannot create a new one with same name. nor can i restore the previous channel without enterprise edition.
I suggest to move feature of restoring to Team edition. Alternatively make channel deletions permanent so another channel with same name can be created.
