I’d love the ability to assign moderation permissions to specific Access Groups and/or channels rather than moderation authority automatically extending across the entire community.
I’m building a community that functions more like a campus, with distinct spaces where different leaders may be responsible for facilitating and stewarding specific groups. For example, one person might oversee a particular cohort or “school” within the larger campus. I want them to have the permissions necessary to moderate and care for the people and content within their assigned spaces without giving them moderation authority elsewhere in the community.
Ideally, I could assign someone a Moderator role and then specify the scope of that role:
Mary → Moderator → Access Group A + Channels 1–3
Mary could moderate posts, conversations, members, and activity within those designated spaces, but her moderation permissions would not extend into Access Group B, another leader’s channels, or the broader community.
This would make it possible to build communities with distributed leadership while maintaining clear boundaries of responsibility and authority.
In a larger community, not every leader needs the keys to the whole campus. Sometimes they simply need the keys—and appropriate authority—for the rooms they’ve been entrusted to steward.
Would love to see group/channel-level moderation permissions added to Heartbeat.

It’s essential to have boundaries and parameters in our communities while still growing the leadership team.

It would be great to have a mod for specific channels as well.

Hopefully, this can be rolled out. Currently, when you asssign "moderator role" to someone in a private group, that person can have access to the general channels as well. I hope we can assign moderators for respective private channels only.

option for group admin to create/modify threads,docs, courses, events but only for the group they are 'group admin' of. They should be unable to view/edit/create or modify other groups unless they have the normal admin role. This is handy if we are hiring a va, have multiple instructors.

I believe this is possible. When creating the invitation link toy can choose which groups they can be moderators on.. right?

Scoped Moderation by Access Group/Channels
