Disclaimer: I am very new to Odoo. So I maybe missing something ob

Note: I am running Odoo 13. 

I am trying to disable chatter for certain user groups.

Currently the XML file contains this code:-

<div class="oe_chatter">
    <field name="message_follower_ids" widget="mail_followers" groups="generic_request.group_ims_moderator"/>
    <field name="activity_ids" widget="mail_activity" groups="generic_request.group_ims_moderator"/>
    <field name="message_ids" widget="mail_thread" groups="generic_request.group_ims_moderator"/>
</div>


As you can see, I only want the chatter to be visible to 'group_ims_moderator'. But it's like the groups attribute has no effect. I am able to see the chatter on all user groups, including basic users. Is there anything else I need to modify in other files in order to get this to work.

this is a web client bug :(.  it doesn't check view definition/arch modifiers while rendering chatter fields.
Server is sending correct modifiers but web client only depends on fields definition defined in python.

so make it work redefine fields in your model and add groups like
​message_ids = fields.One2many(groups="generic_request.group_ims_moderator")
