Description
Ultimately we want to support more fine-grained controls for which rooms/people/etc. can be seen by members/non-members/etc. of a given group.
As a high-value quick win, however, we want to implement a flag on groups that dictates whether a user who is not a member of that group can see any of the group details.
I think we should avoid calling this feature 'public' or 'private' groups because:
- The existence of a group-with-details-hidden-from-non-members will still be public - even if we don't list it in a directory, users outside of the group can discover its name by trying to register it
- A 'public' group sounds like it pertains to ability to join rather than visibility of details
I think we want to:
- add an option to group settings:
- ☑️ Show group details (description, members, room-list) to non-members
- This feature should default to 'on'
- show non-members (who will still find the group through clicking on flair) a notification:
The details of this group cannot be seen by non-members., or
