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. Some features can be disabled through permissions, and others will require dev work in order to remove them.

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

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?
