RoleMembership and Rights
OwnersThese are owners of the list, as specified in the channel configuration node. Only owners are allowed to modify the channel configuration node.
AdministratorsAdministrators are defined in the channel configuration node. Administrators have update rights to the Allowed Node and Banned Node, so can control which users may participate in a channel. Administrators will usually be granted additional rights, such as the ability to kick users from a channel.
ParticipantsParticipants are users listed by JID in the participants node.
AllowedAllowed is the set of JIDs that are participants or may be allowed to become participants. A JID is allowed if it does not match entry in the banned node and either it matches an entry in the allowed node or the allowed node is not present.
AnyoneAny user, including users in the banned node.

+ There will always be at lease one owner and "anyone" will always have role occupants. Other roles may not have any role occupants. Rights are defined in a strictly hierarchical manner, so that for example Owners will always have rights that Administrators have. +

Items in this node will contain a message identified by a unique ID. A MIX implementation SHOULD NOT make messages available for retrieval from this node using pubsub. The recommended approach is that zero history is held in the messages node, and that this node is used for publication only. The recommended approach to retrieve message history is MAM. Users subscribe to this node to receive messages.

Private Messages are not stored in the messages node.

The Configuration node holds the configuration of the channel as a single item, named by the date-time of the last update to the configuration. A single item is stored in the node at a time, with previous configuration history accessed by MAM. Users MAY subscribe to the configuration node to get notification of configuration change. The configuration node is optional for a MIX channel. For example, configuration choices could be fixed and not exposed. A subset of the defined configuration options may be used and additional non-standard configuration options may be added. If configuration options to control functionality of the nature described here are provided, the options defined in this standard MUST be used.

  • 'Owners'. List of bare JIDs with Owner rights as defined in ACL node. When a list is created, the JID creating the list is configured as an owner, unless this attribute is explicitly configured to another value. Owners will generally have full rights to make changes to channel configuration and access control.
  • 'Administrators'. List of bare JIDs with Administrator rights. An Administrator has rights to make changes to channel access control and configuration as defined in ACL node. An Administrator also has operational right on a channel, such a kicking users out of the channel. These rights are analogous to moderator rights defined in &xep0045;.
