Restricting poll responses #poll

 

Hello!

Is there any way to set up a poll that only allows certain members of the group to answer and not others? We have full membership and associate members in our group.

Thank You!

No. From Groups.io's point of view people are either "members" or they aren't; there is no concept of "associate members".? The only available limitation is that members who are not allowed to post messages can also not vote in polls; it they can post then they can also vote.

I'm not aware of any function that would allow you to restrict poll responses to a subset of your subscribers. You would probably have to set up a subgroup for that.?

As an experiment, you could try editing the #poll hashtag so that only Moderators could use it (check both "Use By Mods Only" and "Replies by Mods Only"). But that would require promoting all your associate members to Moderators, and even then I don't think it will actually work.

We have full membership and associate members in our group.
Since groups.io does not natively support it, I would be interested to know how you manage to distinguish between these two kinds of subscriptions, short of promoting all the associate members as previously mentioned.?

You create a sub-domain for the "associates"?
