Rocket.chat: Complete list of users online

[hExPY]

Hey guys,

i run version 0.33 and want to ask if theres a way to show a list of all users which are online.
If its an additional javascript i would be fine.

Kind regards,
Marvyn

@hExPY we already show a list of users online inside of each channel. Are you looking for an external api to query?

[hExPY]

Hi @geek,

no i've been looking for a list for all users which can be accessed by everyone.

Kind regards,

[geekgonecrazy]

@hExPY are you looking for a list inside of Rocket.Chat or outside of Rocket.Chat ?

[hExPY]

Hi geek,

i feel kind a stupid due to my answers :D
A list inside rocket chat! :-)

My users asked for it. I know its possible to search a user when creating a private chat but it would be nice to have a list full of all users and filter it like showing online users or all (exactly like its in public channel.

Kind regards,

[geekgonecrazy]

@hExPY ah ok I get it! Where would you imagine this list of users being available?

[hExPY]

I think it would be nice to have it right above the left menu footer under the private channel part.
But iam not realy sure where this could be implemented to provide the best user experience.

Could we have an option to also see a list of all users, with whom I can start a conversation, not only those who are online. Currently, I have to type at least two characters so that I get a list of matching users.

Where is a good place in the UI? As the button to list all channels at the left bottom is rather hard to find on a bigger screen, I would suggest to have "show all" buttons for channels and users just below the "create" button (and not on the bottom).

Maybe add it as a filter to the left menu on the direct messages list?

[rasos]

We should also have an option for the administrator to de-activate the "show-all users" filter, some organisations may not want that for data protection reasons.

:+1: looking for such a fonctionnality, we would need a simple way to consult a list of all active users. Typically :
I am a new user in the company and my boss asked me to contact "john" from accounting service. I can find a lot of "john" in my company, how can I spot this guy and actually talk to him ? I don't know in which channel he is, and if I look over all join through "direct messages" I may ask the wrong guy. So a list of all users named "john" would be a good start, I could check for all of them their services (if it is in the user profil of course).

[rasos]

See the more detailed specs at #5764 - add a role "list-users".

Both issues are backed by bounties https://www.bountysource.com/issues/34989818-complete-list-of-users-online - anybody else may want to support it?

Hey @hExPY , how to get online user's list using API ?

[hExPY]

Hi @neerajshree i actually dont know how to.

[andpiazza]

Slack implemented this as command line: /who
Here's the complete list of slack commands. These are not API's - these are "slash commands" that could be entered by any member of the slack instance.

Hii,
Rocket chat version 0.63.3 user list or channel list rest api shows only first 50 list. not getting whole list.

[huiminzeng]

Hello! Any updates? I want this function as well. By getting the list of the online users, I can monitor the entire system as Admin.

thx

[vynmera]

@huiminzeng If you are admin, you can press the triple dots in the top left, choose Administration, and go to the Users tab. That'll show you a full list of all users.

[awunder]

but not their online status.. and thats what this is all about.. @vynmera

Any progress towards this feature?

[fcoppolani]

Well... the need is still here, and still no solution, I believe this is a simple missing feature.

How can we properly suggest that this issue is not closed?
It seems that the system is set to close it despite a sizable audience
expressing an interest in it.

I've removed the label that causes it to be brought it into list for bot to act on. :)

[desser-code]

is there any progress here?

[digitalsleuth]

I would also like to see some progress on this. I'm looking to use Rocket.Chat for a group meeting where members can vote on topics which will be presented, but I would need to be able to determine a majority. For this, I would need to know the total number of users online, in the channel, at each given moment.

For me, whether that's a number to the left/right of the channel name showing a count of users, or a full list of 'Online' users with a total count there, then either is fine.
I can use the REST API - api/v1/statistics and pull out what I need from there (onlineUsers + awayUsers or totalConnectedUsers) but that only works for the whole server, not the channel.

I also would really appreciate this functionality
