<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p>Traditionally, instant messaging is thought to consist of one-to-one chat rather than many-to-many chat, which is called variously "groupchat" or "text conferencing". Groupchat functionality is familiar from systems such as Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and the chatroom functionality offered by popular consumer IM services. The Jabber/XMPP community developed and implemented a basic groupchat protocol as long ago as 1999. That "groupchat 1.0" (GC) protocol provided a minimal feature set for chat rooms but was rather limited in scope. This specification (Multi-User Chat or MUC) builds on the older GC protocol in a backwards-compatible manner but provides advanced features such as invitations, room moderation and administration, and specialized room types.</p>

<p>Support for the owner affiliation is REQUIRED. Support for the admin, member, and outcast affiliations is RECOMMENDED. (The "None" affiliation is the absence of an affiliation.)</p>
<p>These affiliations are long-lived in that they persist across a user's visits to the room and are not affected by happenings in the room. In addition, there is no one-to-one mapping between these affiliations and an occupant's role within the room. Affiliations are granted, revoked, and maintained based on the user's bare JID, not the nick (and thus implicitly the full JID) as with roles.</p>
<p>If a user without a defined affiliation enters a room, the user's affiliation is defined as "none"; however, this affiliation does not persist across visits (i.e., a service does not maintain a "none list" across visits).</p>
<p>The member affiliation provides a way for a room owner or admin to specify a "whitelist" of users who are allowed to enter a members-only room. When a member enters a members-only room, his or her affiliation does not change, no matter what his or her role is. The member affiliation also provides a way for users to effectively register with an open room and thus be lastingly associated with that room in some way (one result may be that the user's nickname is reserved in the room).</p>

The service MUST send complete message stanzas only (i.e., it MUST not literally truncate the history at a certain number of characters, but MUST send the largest number of complete stanzas that results in a number of characters less than or equal to the 'maxchars' value specified). If the client wishes to receive no history, it MUST set the 'maxchars' attribute to a value of "0" (zero).</p>

<p>A common feature of multi-user chat rooms is the ability to change the subject within the room. By default, only users with a role of "moderator" SHOULD be allowed to change the subject in a room (although this is configurable, with the result that a mere participant or even visitor might be allowed to change the subject, as controlled by the "muc#roomconfig_changesubject" option). The subject is changed by sending a message of type "groupchat" to the &ROOM;, where the &MESSAGE; MUST contain a &lt;subject/&gt; element that specifies the new subject but MUST NOT contain any other element (e.g., no &BODY; element or &THREAD; element). (A message with a &SUBJECT; and a &BODY; is a legitimate message, but it SHALL NOT be interpreted as a subject change.)</p>

<p>Every room MUST have at least one owner, and that owner (or a successor) is a long-lived attribute of the room for as long as the room exists (e.g., the owner does not lose ownership on exiting a persistent room). This document assumes that the (initial) room owner is the individual who creates the room and that only a room owner has the right to change defining room configuration settings such as the room type. Room owners can specify not only the room types (password-protected, members-only, etc.) but also certain attributes of the room as listed in the <link url='#reqs'>Requirements</link> section of this document. In addition, an owner can also specify the JIDs of other owners, if supported by the implementation.</p>
<p>In order to provide the necessary flexibility for a wide range of configuration options, Data Forms (<cite>XEP-0004</cite>) are used for room configuration, triggered by use of the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/muc' namespace. If an entity does not include the MUC namespace in its room join/create request, then the service shall create the room and not wait for configuration via Data Forms before creating the room (this ensures backwards-compatibility with the old GC protocol); however, if the room join/create request includes the MUC extension, then the service shall require configuration via Data Forms before creating and unlocking the room.</p>

Also, these are examples only and are not intended to define the only allowed or required configuration options for rooms. A given implementation or deployment MAY choose to provide additional configuration options (clearance levels, profanity filters, supported languages, message logging, etc.), which is why the use of the 'jabber:x:data' protocol is valuable here.</p>

<li><p>A MUC service SHOULD allow all other presence information to pass through, although it MAY choose to block extended presence information; see the <link url='#impl-service-traffic'>Allowable Traffic</link> section of this document.</p></li>
<li><p>In order to inform occupants of room roles and affiliations, and to make it easier for clients to track the current state of all users in the room, MUC service implementations MUST provide role and affiliation data (and, if allowed by the room configuration, full JID) in all presence stanzas, including presence stanzas of type "unavailable" sent when a user exits the room for any reason.</p></li>
<li><p>If a role or affiliation is revoked, the service MUST note that fact by sending an &lt;x/&gt; element qualified by the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user' namespace and containing an &lt;item/&gt; child element with the 'role' and/or 'affiliation' attributes set to a value that indicates the loss of the relevant status. All future presence stanzas for the occupant MUST include the updated role and affiliation, until and unless they change again.</p></li>
<li><p>A MUC service MUST include the MUC extensions even if the client did not send an empty &lt;x/&gt; element qualified by the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/muc' namespace on entering the room; naturally, a client MUST ignore such information if it does not understand it (in accordance with <cite>RFC 6120</cite>).</p></li>
<li><p>If the service includes an occupant's JabberID in the MUC presence extension, the value of hte 'jid' attribute MUST be the full JID (not the bare JID).</p></li>
<li><p>If the service includes an occupant's JabberID in the MUC presence extension, the value of the 'jid' attribute MUST be the full JID (not the bare JID).</p></li>
<li><p>A client MAY send a custom exit message if desired (as is often done in IRC channels) by including a &lt;status/&gt; element in the presence stanza of type "unavailable" sent when <link url='#exit'>exiting a room</link>.</p></li>

<li><p>In handling messages sent by visitors in a moderated room, a MUC service MAY queue each message for approval by a moderator and MAY inform the sender that the message is being held for approval; however, such behavior is OPTIONAL, and definition of a message approval protocol (e.g., using Data Forms as defined in <cite>XEP-0004</cite>) is out of scope for this document.</p></li>
<li><p>Out of courtesy, a MUC service MAY send an out-of-room &lt;message/&gt; if a user's affiliation changes while the user is not in the room; the message SHOULD be sent from the room to the user's bare JID, MAY contain a &lt;body/&gt; element describing the affiliation change, and MUST contain a status code of 101.</p></li>
<li><p>There is no requirement that a MUC service shall provide special treatment for users of the older GC protocol, such as messages that contain equivalents to the extended presence information that is qualified by the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user' namespace.</p></li>

<li><p>A MUC service MAY limit the number of configuration options presented to an owner after initial configuration has been completed, e.g. because certain options cannot take effect without restarting the service.</p></li>
<li><p>A MUC service MAY provide an interface to room creation and configuration (e.g., in the form of a special XMPP entity or a Web page), so that the ostensible room owner is actually the application instead of a human user.</p></li>
