thename
it creates the room but there are no users in it…am i missing something?
What do you expect if you call your XML above?
The members contains the bareJID of the users with member affiliation. If the room is not members-only then the list will contain the users that registered with the room and therefore they may have reserved a nickname.
thank you for the reply!
hmmm when i go to user permissions form i do see my room members.
maybe theres something basic im missing here…i thought the members are the occupants and i didnt understand why there are no occupants…
is there a way to put occupants in the chat room as i create it? (as admin)
Members are not occupants. The occupants have the “member” permission/affiliation. You can not create occupants in the chat room.
**Member: **A user who is on the “whitelist” for a members-only room or who is registered with an open room. A member has an affiliation of “member”.
**Occupant: **Any user who is in a room.

ok great that cleared some things up for me, i appreciate the support !
Hi,
I’m bit late to this, but… Is there a way to add occupants to a chat room programatically?

Hi,
That is also my challenge now.
I use the REST plugin and want to control all via the REST service
-
I create a user
-
create a chat room
-
add a user to a room as described here
The create user and create room work perfectly, the add user to room does give back a 201 CREATED but nothing seems to have happened…
thx
@Hugo if you select the channel in Openfire Admin interface and go to “User permissions” you don’t see the User there?
And please take a look at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36883824/cannot-add-members-to-existing-room- using-openfire-rest-api
solved, indeed I had not yet fully understood the flow…
Hi Hugo,
I had the same misunderstanding as you. I thought you could add an occupant to a chat room using the REST API. However, this is not possible. The only way to do that is using the smack API.
