Invitations

[lucimara julia]

Hello Sebastian. I have a scenario:
 I plan a meeting in the calendar;
 Users may access the room by invitation sent by email;
 The first is entering moderation, but do not want it that way;
 Would you like a particular user was moderator, but when setting up the room to moderate and add the user, the IDS do not match the invitation.
 Users can only access via email.
 Thank you.

Hi Lucimara,

I don't think you have the chance to make an user that is invited via email to be moderator.
The initial setup is that the user that sets the room up, access the room via OpenMeetings. Either through Rooms > My Rooms or via the button in the calendar. I think if the user enters the room like that he should be automatically the moderator.

Hello Lucimara, Sebastian

According to my observation the first user entering the room gain full
rights on that room.
Was tested on demo.openmeetings.de/openmeetings.

1) I send invitation to one of my addresses
2) Logout from openmeetings
3) Enter the room using invitation link

The user has all right in the room.

If guess enters the room while owner in it he/she has no rights.
I'll try to fix it ASAP because I think it is security issue.

Hi,

actually there is no security issue, its a matter of room configuration.
You have the *isModerated* Flag for each room.

You can either configure that the user that enters the room first is moderator (mean isModerated = false) or that only Moderators/Administrators [/Room-Moderators .. don't know if that feature is fully in trunk] do get the Moderation Flag (means isModerated = true).

If the user comes via email invitation or not does not really matter. I think if you organize an event via the calendar the problem is also that the one that has organized the event receives the same email like everybody. If you forbid those users that enter the room via link of invitation emails to become moderator by default, you would result in having no chance for a simple user to become moderator at all (or he always needs to login into OpenMeetings and enter the room via the Rooms-Section ... which is not that handy I think)

So if you want to fix this issue you really need to think about the scenarios, just locking out users from becoming moderation-flag is definitely no solution.

Well :))

adding some features to the invitation feature are quite highly demanded by some of the users ^^

Some of the things tosolve for the future would be:
- Having the option to enanle/disable moderation/audio/video-right for the invation-link
- Having the option to send a custom invitation link to *internal* users of OpenMeetings, where they have to login with their auth and directly goto a room (cause that way they have their personal private folder + correct name in the user-list)
