If you have say a sales team, dev team etc. Being able to add an entire group or team to a channel would be very useful

    There is a "temporary solution" for this. Create some read-only channels with the necessary members, then use, on the other channel, the command /invite-all-from .
    Example:

    1. Create a read-only channel called team-sales
    2. Add all team sales users to this channel
    3. Finally, go to all the channels you would like to include the sales team (ie: opportunities, sales-meetings etc) and add all users from you fake channel team-sales with: /invite-all-from team-sales

    Maybe a much simple solution for the Rocket.Chat developers would create a hidden channel type (teams) to allow this team organization without deep coding.

    are the slash commands /invite-all-from and /invite-all-to enough?

    I think this ties into the groups or teams functionality like github has with @rocketchat/core

    Hi. My employer is interested in developing this feature, but we would like to know if there are any requirements that you would like us to consider. This is so that we have the best chance of having a pull request accepted. This feature is blocking requirement for us if we want continue using RocketChat, so we have to build it or find a different solution.

    @maudrid Please have your team involved go through this 5 years old discussion just in case your intention for the "scope of this feature" goes beyond what is mentioned ONLY ON THIS ticket (shortcut to add a group of users to a channel). Thanks.

    Hi, @maudrid and @Sing-Li I'd like to participate in this discussion. I don't think this is much related to multi-tenant. I think it is more related to how MS Teams work. One team is not necessarily completely isolated from the other team, but they can have access to different channels and me mentioned to as a single entity, etc.

    I have reviewed the other issue. Our purpose is just to make it easy to add/remove a pre-selected list of users to a channel without having to manage individual users.
    Our current work around is to have an external list of users and adding and removing users from channels using the API, the problem is keeping all of this in sync is a nightmare.

    @Sing-Li I have sent you a few emails but have not gotten a reply. Am I using the correct email address?
