When I read this I understood it to mean that only admins can create channels. But I just had a moderator create a channel.

What is going on. Does admin not mean admin user?

It seems to be a typo. Based on the code, the access level has consistently been for staff (admin and moderator). Thanks for pointing out this error! (EDIT: I updated the first post)

Hello! I have a specific use case in which I would need to be able to create channels and add users using an API

And to then add users to existing channels using an API as well

  1. Is this something possible to do using this plugin?
  2. If so, is there an API documentation for this plugin I can refer to?

I know you can create users via API. You could add them to a chat by adding them to a group that has chat access. I don’t see a method to create the chat itself via API though.

I’d like to open or link to a topic with the chat window opens by default in drawer mode on the right hand side, showing the channel of the the topic’s category. Is that possible?

Not out of the box atm, you can have multiple channels for one category too so we would need a more explicit way to decide which one to show.

It would be nice if there is a way to set a channel as the default channel of a category.

And a setting to always display the chat in drawer mode.

Our users have difficulties with switching between the forum and chat.
