Allow users to be set to disallow direct messages
At the moment, you can configure users to be allowed to send direct messages either to other members of the team or to anyone on the server.
I'd like to make it so that normal users cannot start direct messages at all.
My particular usecase may be a little out of the sweet spot - I have created a mattermost for my children (quite young) who I want to be able to chat with while they are doing their home learning, but don't want them using public chat systems. I am happy for them to interact with each other in…

Change custom attributes to support user set attribute values
Custom attributes should optionally support having both a name and a value at the point of definition by the system admin.
They would be as currently assigned to users/teams/group as
appropriate. The value of the attribute could then be set at this time or by the user, team/group owner in a custom attribute extension to the user profile or similarly for for teams and group. Support for attributes of type simple
(no value, current behavior), required (must be set), overridable (can be changed or not from value set by system) could also be added.

Support other Postgres schema but public
I have not found any way to specify the Postgres schema that mattermost should use and saw that the "public" schema was in the sql migration files.
Using the public schema is not a recommended practice with postgres : https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Database_Schema_Recommendations_for_an_Application
See first section stating :
"The recommendation is to create a single database with multiple named schemas [...]. Additionally, it is recommended to remove the public schema."1 vote -

Prevent non-admin users from posting and editing to channel
The use case is to provide information to users, for example, release notes, status updates, etc. In order to keep the channel relevant and to avoid clutter, non-admin users have read-only access.
This feature allows a team to create "reference" channels.
- team admins: create, read, update, delete
- non-admin users: read-only
This idea is similar to, and currently under review for Enterprise Edition:

Add Gitea OAuth2 Support
Support Gitea's OAuth2 provider as an authentication source.
Currently, the team edition only supports GitLab as an OAuth2 source. GitLab is pretty heavyweight and many people prefer other software for a variety of reasons.
Gitea (https://gitea.io/en-us/) is a really nice open source, community supported Git server. They recently added support for acting as an OAuth2 provider (see https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/oauth2-provider/ for documentation). It would be great if Mattermost would support Gitea as an OAuth2 provider.

Add the team name to any notification emails
Please add the team name to any notification emails sent by MM. While we have few teams with common channel names, it is really confusing from email body which team it is.

Clearer notification for plugin upload failure (size limit)
I was receiving a generic "Received invalid response from the server" messages when trying to upload the BigBlueButton plugin. I eventually discovered that it was because the Maximum File Size was configured to 5MB.
A clear message stating either what the "invalid response" was or flagging the issue as "too large of a file" size would be less generic and easier to troubleshoot.

Quote Reply In Threads
In a thread, because we cant create subthreads, the comment menu should have a new item called "quote reply".
"Quote Reply" should allow the user to add a new comment with reference from the comment he is replying.
A : I like cars.
A : Wanna go for pizza? <-- "Quote Reply"
B : I like Ferrari.
B : "Wanna go for pizza?"
Yes. Pizza is a great idea.37 votes -
Make new posts stand out more
When there are multiple teams, when a new post is made to another team, it is difficult for users to notice it. I want you to show it with an impact that would reverse the color information of the icon.
The same can be said for the channel name display within each team. It is difficult to understand with the current bold display.3 votes -
Voice Messages Record and Play
The same way we can send messages, we should be able to send voice messages.
It should be as simple as click "add voice", record what you want, press send and it's made available on the server for others to listen.
It should be supported by browser and mobile client apps.

Image proxy support for normal proxy servers
Mattermost image proxy supports atmos/camo Image Proxy and local image proxy. Support should be added for normal proxies that one would set via HTTPSPROXY environment variable. I need images to go through a proxy but I don't want to see HTTPSPROXY for entire application.

Better wording for account deactivation
When a user want to delete his account, he can think "deactivation" is enough but doesn't necessarily know that it just means that he cannot log anymore…
Maybe (in advanced settings):
"By deactivating your account you will no longer be able to log in but the messages will be kept. To permanently delete your account and your messages, please contact your administrator."
And a similar (or the same) message in email notification.

Clarified "Channel Purpose"
The "purpose" element of each channel is very difficult to see. Information such as who created this channel doesn't need to be noticeable. The necessary "purpose" statement is buried in the information. I want at least the "purpose" statement to bold the font.
I want to hide or move information other than the purpose.3 votes -
System Administrator: Ability to Import Users via CSV / Excel File
While system administrator are limited to only have the following methods to create / import users:
* Local users: mattermost user create CLI, direct invite, team invite link
* External users: LDAP / AD / SAMLIt will be good to have the ability to use CSV or Excel file to bulk import the users with specific formatting especially if the organization has a lot of customers and is not utilizing AD / LDAP / SSO.

increase the 22 character limit on channel names.
Slack recently increased their character limitation on channel names. We would like Mattermost to increase the limit as well, as this has been a helpful feature since it was rolled out.
