Users

A person using your site can connect to the system either as a Guest or as a Registered User.

Guest users can view all messages but are unable to send any messages. At any time, a guest user can complete the registration process and continue using all features with the settings of a registered user.

Registered Users

Registered users can send messages and have access to additional features based on their membership type.

Membership Types

There are two types of user memberships: Standard and Premium.

Standard Membership

If limits are set for standard membership (such as the maximum number of channels a user can join or the maximum number of private messages they can send), users with a standard membership can join channels and send private messages according to these limits.

Channel Limits: Users can join up to a specified number of channels.
Private Message Limits: Users can send a limited number of private messages.

Premium Membership

Premium membership offers enhanced features without the limitations imposed on standard membership. Premium users can join an unlimited number of channels and send an unlimited number of private messages, along with other exclusive benefits.

Additional Information

Upgrading Membership: Guest users can upgrade to a registered user at any time to access additional features.
Feature Management: Administrators can manage membership limits and upgrade options through the channel management and user settings interfaces.
