Block creation of Conferences by users

Openfire Openfire Support

Hi everyone!!

I’ve installed Openfire for tests and i’ve liked it…

Now I’m wondering if there’s a way to block the creation of Conferences by users… I’d like to allow only admins to do that by the Admin’s console…

I also would like to block normal users to send Mass Messages… Only admins could do that…

Does anyone know how to solve it?

  1. Go to Group Chat in Admin Console, then Group Chat Settings > select your conference service, then Room Creation Permissions

  2. Depends on a client. With Spark you can try to control broadcasts (mass messages) with Client Control plugin on a server. But there is no guaranteed way to forbid this completely as user can just send a mass message as a bunch of simple messages. Client Control plugin can disable general broadcast messages, but can’t forbid sending massive messages by selecting a group of users in roster. But i haven’t tested this for a while. You should try this plugin.

Thanks for the answer… this Client Control Plug-in really have this option…

The problem is: When i’m restarting the server, this plug-in blocks the initialization… it simply doesn’t starts…

Which is not starting, server or plugin? Currently i only have Openfire 3.7.0 Beta install and it works ok with Client Control plugin.

I’ve fixed that… There was a problem while the server tried to create the tables of the database… I’ve simply reinstalled it and it worked! Thank you for the tip… =)
