Docker-jitsi-meet: Everybody is a moderator?

Created on 20 Mar 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: jitsi/docker-jitsi-meet

Starting jitsi with the default config and latest images, everybody can create and join every room and everybody is a moderator.
Activating Auth via jwt works fine, still everybody is a moderator.
Activating Auth via jwt and enable gues access + allow empty token results in everybody joining and still everybody, also guests, being set as moderator.

That way the moderator-feature does not make any sense in my opinion.
What am I missing? Or is this behavior intended?
My goal would be: Persons who join via valid jwt become moderators, the rest is set as a normal user.

Kind regards!

I think we should have a way to disable the everyone is a moderator thing indeed.

If the situation as it is now is on purpose: Yes! Because if everybody is a moderator, no one is.
This plugin here solves the problem perfectly fine - maybe someone can implement it to the main image?
Its hard to install in a docker deployment though, because changes made in the config files are not reflected to the config-file being created within the container creation - so you have to manually edit them.

I have the same issue with the docker and also there are mentioned some caveats that may be overcome if that feature will be added in the main image.
Since all my users I require to join via API with JWT I would need to assign moderator to a specific JWT. jitsi-token-moderation-plugin do that in API but looks like that breaks some other features are essential in a group meeting like banning people...
I hope I will see that feature in the main install soon :)
