Question

I’d like multiple users to be able to be tagged in posts on a drupal 7.9 site.

I’ve tried the Entity Reference module for this. However, it has no way of filtering the users based on their user type. I need to be able to have filters in place for the user type.

I’m very new to drupal, but even after a lot of searching I couldn’t find out how to do this. Is there any module or method I can use for this?

Edit: Also, I’d like multiple users to be taggable in a intuitive way – and not by having to add multiple input boxes.

You need the References module, it has a userreference module which can replace the one provided by Entity Reference.

The huge advantage is that you can create a view to specify the users you need to reference, and the userreference module will let you use that view to filter the possible values in your autocomplete/dropdown.

Hope that helps
