Chat permissions for users
Need to forbid access to video calls or sending files to some part of users?
For example, only administrators can start video calls or sending messages and others can only chatting.
So, based on that, we have prepared the PHP code for that functions. You should insert it in your website repository to the WP theme file "functions" at the bottom of the file.
Example of the path to the file for SweetDate:
\wp-content\themes\sweetdate\functions.php
The feature code:
add_filter( 'rest_request_before_callbacks', 'your_permission_access_function', 10, 3 );
function your_permission_access_function($response, $handler, $request)
{
/**
* Here is example how you can control user's permissions.
* This example of giving permissions by user role
* admin - allowed to use all features of ImbaChat
* user - allowed to write message and nothing else
**/
if (!isset($handler['imbachat_callback'])) {
return $response;
}
if ($handler['imbachat_callback'] != 'get_users') {
return $response;
}
$user_id = $response['user_id'];
$user = get_user_by('id', $user_id);
if ( in_array( 'administrator', (array) $user->roles ) ) {
$role = 'admin';
} else {
$role = 'user';
}
if ($role == 'admin') {
$permissions = [
'send_message' => 1,
'send_files' => 1,
'send_geo' => 1,
'audio_calls' => 1,
'video_calls' => 1,
'audio_message' => 1,
'video_message' => 1
];
} else {
$permissions = [
'send_message' => 1,
'send_files' => 0,
'send_geo' => 0,
'audio_calls' => 0,
'video_calls' => 0,
'audio_message' => 0,
'video_message' => 0
];
}
return [
'permissions' => $permissions
];
}
