Create global and personal settings to hide user role labels

[taybin]

Your Rocket.Chat version: 0.27.0
In a small group like mine, the user role labels are distracting and unnecessary. Is there a way to hide them?

It looks like you can manually remove the labels in Admin->Permissions. #2858 (comment)

Just ran into this too, it's true that you can workaround it for the time being by going to Admin->Permissions, clicking the edit button next to a user type (column headers) and deleting the Description field.

There should IMHO be an option to switch these off globally - I was searching for exactly that after upgrading to 0.27.0

+1 - the tags add clutter.

As a workaround, adding
.role-tag {display: none;}
to your Administration > SETTINGS > Layout > Custom CSS will hide the tags.

@jimt Brilliant! Do you mind creating a "Pro tips" section in our doc and adding this? It will be very useful for others for sure! TIA

PR against this would be appreciated:

+1 for adding this as a global setting and user setting

As a workaround, adding .role-tag {display: none;} to your Administration > SETTINGS > Layout > Custom CSS will hide the tags.

Somehow this is still an issue where the setting doesn't work in Administration > SETTINGS > Layout > User Interface -> Display Roles (off). The updated CSS tag is rcx-message-header__roles based on 5.0.6.

Adding the below to Administration > SETTINGS > Layout > Custom CSS will remove the role tags in messages.

.rcx-message-header__roles { display: none !important; }

Thx! Worked for me on 5.4.2 as well
