Group Chat

The feature of group chats in our application allows people to come together for joint discussions and idea exchange in one space. This is a convenient way to stay connected with the team, share information, and instantly address issues, ensuring effective real-time interaction.

Roles in a Group Chat

The capabilities of users in the chat will differ based on roles, which can be assigned by a user with the Owner role. There can be three types of roles in a group chat: chat owner, administrator, and regular participant. Each role has its own rights and abilities.

Participant of a group chat without a role - has the ability to send messages in the chat without restrictions, can view information about the chat and its participants, plan events with chat participants, as well as disable notifications from the group chat for themselves and leave the group chat;

Administrator - has all the capabilities of a participant without a role, but additionally can remove users from the group chat;

Owner - has all the capabilities listed above for other roles, but additionally can delete messages sent by other users, delete the group chat for all participants of the group chat, and can assign and revoke administrator rights for other users.
