Thank you for the Client Control plugin, I can manage the restrictions to some users. However, there’s a bit of a problem with the “Start a chat” menu on Spark 2.8.3.
When I click the start a chat menu, I can type in the Jabber ID of the user and allow to chat to that user even if the user does not belong to that Group/Department.
Is it possible to add this feature to the next version of Client Control Plugin?
Start a Chat (Spark Only) Enable Disable
I hope this feature will be on the next release of the plugin.
I have filed feature request. But not sure when it could be implemented and can’t say when new version of Spark will be released. Meanwhile you can use Packet Filter plugin to control who can speak to whom.

Just wanted to inform you that i have implemented this today. It should be available in Client Control 2.1.3 (should be uploaded soon) and it will work with Spark 2.9.0. Not sure when 2.9.0 will be released. Still a few bugs need to be fixed.
