I'm doing a chatting apps that require group chat to have multiple owner, so that they can add user to the room. According to mongoose muclight documentation, it only allows one owner in a muc light room. Is there any other way to do that? Is there any extension i can use to achieve that?

According to the official MUC Light documentation it's possible to allow any room member to add new users to a room (from http://mongooseim.readthedocs.io/en/latest/open-extensions/muc_light/ section 2. Requirements, emphasis mine):

  1. Users cannot join rooms on their own. They have to be added by the room owner or (if configured by service administrator) any other occupant.

Later in the same document section 5.4 Changing the occupant list describes how to add/invite users to a room.

The configuration option required to allow any member to add users to a room is called all_can_invite and, among other options, is described at http://mongooseim.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules/mod_muc_light.

  • Hi erszcz, do they allow to remove user as well after they have added new member? it's like whatsapp, multiple admin role in a group chat – titan Jan 03 '18 at 10:12

    @erszcz : how we can figure out many admins are there on one group ? – Bucket Jan 05 '18 at 08:27
  • The "service administrator" in the context of the above quoted text is the operator of the server, where MongooseIM is installed. It's not a user with the "admin" role in the group chat. There is no "admin" role in MUC Light. The same doc says: _There MUST be at most one owner in the room (the service can choose to treat all users equally)_. Simply, if the `all_can_invite` option is set, any user can add other users to a room. – erszcz Jan 09 '18 at 15:43

They don't allow removing users from the room with the following config for mod_muc_light

{equal_occupants, true},{all_can_configure, true},{all_can_invite, true}

only invite new users, which is a bit counterintuitive but not against the docs.
