Web client survey

This document describes features in the web client that we would like to disable, in a Viasat Connect version of the app. It also poses some questions where it is unclear. Some features can be disabled through permissions, and others will require dev work in order to remove them. This is meant as a starting point to help organize the work on the web client.

This issue upstream begins a discussion for configurability in the User Preferences options.

Login

• Only offer SSO option for login. Does this pose a problem for the initial admin user?

Create New Channel

• Disable the ability to create public channels. This can be done by an admin through permissions, but the option is still visible although greyed out.
• Read Only and Broadcast are not currently configurable by an admin. Do we want to disable them?

Directory

• The directory button allows the user to search all channels and all users. We may want to disable or limit the search scope to users with whom there are already open DMs, and channels that you own or are a part. Is there such thing as a friends search, or invite friends in the web client???

Search

• The normal search does a global user search. Do we want to limit that to only friends with whom we are already chatting?

My Account

Preferences

• Make all options configurable by an admin. Upstream issue here

Profile

• Only Profile Picture and Delete my account should be visible to the user because SSO will be solely responsible for profile information. None of the rest should be enabled or visible. Do we want a link to SSO from here???

Security

• Do we want to allow users to configure 2FA?

Integrations

• What the heck is this?? We should remove it entirely.

Personal Access Tokens

• What the heck is this for??
