Would it be possible to give users the ability to add or remove themselves (and only themselves) from a group?
We are looking for a way to give our users user toggalable Banners, and it appears that virtually all the functionality that we need is provided by this mod (which is great by the way). The only issue is that allowing those users to add or remove themselves would by necessity also allow them to add or remove anyone else to the group. Not to mention them having to type in their username.
My current thought would be an additional group permission that if flagged would replace the "View" button with a "Join" button that just adds them to the group. Or an additional Join button next to the View button.
Doing that you would also have to close the security loophole of going direct to the view URL. Perhaps a permission to only add themselves to the group.
EDIT: Found a way to accomplish this

Found a way to do this with a combination of the following addons:

This add-on is shared with the Xenforo community for free without branding. Donations are welcome by just liking this add-on or leaving a nice review, that's all! :love: This addon will make it possible to assign 'Group Moderators' to your...
And a step by step guide if anyone else wants the functionality:
Step 1) Set up a User Group. I will call it (Subscriber) Tier 1. Permissions don't matter.
Step 2) Set up a User Group. I will call it Tier 1. Set (Subscriber) Tier 1 as a Group Moderator for the Tier 1 group. Set other permissions or display options as you desire.
Step 3) Create a Custom Field (/admin.php?custom-user-fields/) using Drop Down Selection or Radio Buttons. Create an option for each choice you want to give the User. I placed mine under Preferences.
Step 4) Go to User Group Promotions (/admin.php?user-group-promotions/) and create one. Check the Add User to User Groups box for the Tier 1 group (not the (Subscriber) Tier 1 group). Under Apply This Promotion While, choose User Groups: (Subscriber) Tier 1. Go to User Field Criteria and scroll down to Preferences. You should see the Custom Field that you created in Step 3, check the box next to its name and the option that is associated with the group.
Step 5) Add users who you want able to use this option to the (Subscriber) Tier 1 group (via any of the available options for doing that).
Now the Users have an option under Preferences for which group they are in/is displayed. If you want to allow multiple banners at once, use multiple choice selection for the custom field. If you want the user to always have the relevant permissions and only be able to choose to display/not display a banner or Username coloring/title then put those permissions on the (Subscriber) Tier 1 group and only the Banner/Title/Username options under the Tier 1 group.
I would also like to thank @Xon for two of the three addons that make this possible, and for a bit of advice about how to go about doing this.
