We’ve expanded Group Admin capabilities with a new permission: Delete Comments
Where to find it
Navigate to: Group → Options → Edit Group → Group Admin Permissions
In the Admins of this Group can section, you’ll now see a checkbox for Delete Comments. Simply tick it to grant current (and future) Group Admins the ability to remove comments across the Group’s content.
Delete Comments feature in Site&Pages
Please note that you can allow all group admins to delete comments for all groups by default via ticking the checkbox in Site&Pages -> Groups page:
The Delete comments permission inside the group's options will override the global permission set in Site&Pages
How to make someone a Group Admin
Go to Group → Options → Manage members.
Check the box next to the member you want to elevate.
Open the action selector and choose Promote to Administrator. (Listed in the “Select an action” dropdown.)
Save/apply. Once promoted, you can return to Edit Group → Group Admin Permissions to enable Delete Comments for them (if not already enabled).
Best practices
1. Grant this permission only to trusted members who understand your community guidelines.
2. Encourage admins to leave a short note internally when removing a comment (e.g., reason: spam / harassment / off-topic) for transparency.
3. Pair “Delete Comments” with clear published community rules so members know what is and isn’t acceptable.
This enhancement is live now—feel free to review your existing Groups and update permissions.
