Closed group invites and new idea #689

Open User1l0 opened 3 years ago

Add ability to join closed groups with disposable or permanent invite links, or special invite links that when user is joining nothing is happening than showing him that his request is sent to the group, so the admin decides the user can join or not by pressing accept the join request or deny

Sepero commented 3 years ago

Possible URI scheme:

session://invitekey/admin_id[/member_id]

invitekey - Information about the closed group
admin_id - Request to join group will automatically be sent to this ID
member_id - Optional second member of the group which may accept invite requests

What happens when I change the URI to use my ID instead of the admin's or add mine to the end?

Does it behave differently in these cases?

I'm not in the group in the URI
I am a member of the group
I am another admin of the group

This would be technically tricky to implement in closed groups, much of the architecture we've build requires the admin of the group to know the Session ID of the member who is joining. with a link which allows anyone to join this process would be complex
