Organizer membership management UI + roles
Problem / Motivation
Add/remove members and manage roles/permissions are Must Have; a site-level “Groups Moderate” capability is Should Have.
Updated 2026-07-22: foundation is the Group module (drupal/group) per André — group entities + group permission mechanism + customized Group membership relationship; OG still excluded.
Proposed resolution
Provide a group Manage members tab (organizer/admin only), operating on the Group membership relationship (#3578784):
- List members with status; add member via username/email autocomplete; remove member.
- Change status/role (Member
↔️ Organizer↔️ Moderator). - Approve/deny pending join requests (request-to-join policy).
The roles are Group roles (Organizer, Moderator, Member) managed through Group's membership relationship. The site-level Groups Moderate capability is a global permission/role that lets drupal.org admins administer any Group's membership/settings without being a member.
Acceptance criteria
- Organizers can add/remove and change the status of members.
- Pending requests can be approved/denied.
- Groups Moderate role can manage any Group without being a member.
Pipeline
Suggested review-rigor: panel — privilege escalation / role-assignment is high-stakes.
UI surface: Manage-members admin table (Designer wireframe + UI walkthrough apply).

Proposed approach (reference — not yet decided)
A proposed approach for this exists in the D11 Migration docs (imported via !28 (merged)), reflecting an Open Social → standard Drupal conversion built on the contrib drupal/group module. Treat it as a reference proposal, not a decision — whether this project adopts that schema is still open (see the data-model decision in #3578779). See: Architecture Differences.
