As a result, our primary means of communication is through <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\">chat rooms<\/a> and messaging apps. This has become both an advantage and disadvantage. In this article, we will discuss how to limit users to ensure the safety of your website.<\/p>\n<h2>Why limit users?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>First of all, when you have too many users in a chat room, it can be very busy and hectic. You cannot control all of the people coming in and out of the chat room.<\/li>\n<li>Second, by not being able to control them, there might be harassers or bullies in the chat room.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How can you avoid this from happening?<\/h2>\n<p>We know nobody wants to tolerate bullying or harassment in a chatroom; therefore, we propose you do the following:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You can appoint someone you trust to be an administrator of a chat room if you&#8217;re not always active.<\/li>\n<li>You can limit users per chat room.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How can you do the following through RumbleTalk?<\/h2>\n<p>RumbleTalk has users per room option so you can limit users going in and out of a chat room. To do this, you need to do the following.<\/p>\n<p>In your admin panel, you will see the &#8220;Settings&#8221; button. Click that, and it will then drop down to an additional list of setting. Click on &#8220;Users&#8221; to proceed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213052903\/admin_settings-2-e1544678965948.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4244 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213052903\/admin_settings-2-e1544678965948.png\" alt=\"admin settings\" width=\"600\" height=\"267\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213052957\/click_users-2-e1544679015329.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4245 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213052957\/click_users-2-e1544679015329.png\" alt=\"click users\" width=\"600\" height=\"266\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After clicking on &#8220;Users,&#8221; you will now see the current registered users to your chat room. For the first prevention measure, you can appoint an administrator to a specific chat room or for global access.<\/p>\n<p>Just click on &#8220;Add new user.&#8221; Select what the username should be and password. You could choose user role to be global or in a specific room only.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213062501\/add_new_user-2-e1544682324123.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4248 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213062501\/add_new_user-2-e1544682324123.png\" alt=\"add new user\" width=\"600\" height=\"380\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213062607\/user_roles-2-e1544682380583.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4249 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213062607\/user_roles-2-e1544682380583.png\" alt=\"user roles\" width=\"600\" height=\"306\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you use rooms, however, then you will be prompted to choose what specific room he can only access.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213062649\/rooms_access-2-e1544682426721.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4250 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213062649\/rooms_access-2-e1544682426721.png\" alt=\"rooms access\" width=\"600\" height=\"459\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Note that the administrator you choose should be a <strong>trusted person, one that will respect chat rules and implement it, and one that respects you.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the second prevention measure, you could limit users per chat room. Just like the steps for the first one, here you will only choose user access to rooms only.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213062735\/user_rooms-2-e1544682472575.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4251\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213062735\/user_rooms-2-e1544682472575.png\" alt=\"user rooms\" width=\"600\" height=\"444\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>From there, you can choose which chat room(s) the user can access.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213062835\/user_room_access-2-e1544682535988.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4252\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213062835\/user_room_access-2-e1544682535988.png\" alt=\"user room access\" width=\"600\" height=\"459\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This can help you navigate who is creating a negative impact in your chat room if there is.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an example of what the user access would look like when you&#8217;ve added users with global access and per room, and admin with global access and per room.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213062926\/users_example-2-e1544682574822.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4253 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20181213062926\/users_example-2-e1544682574822.png\" alt=\"limit users\" width=\"600\" height=\"429\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The users per room option, not only limits users but also protects the privacy and security of each user.<\/p>\n<p>We at RumbleTalk do not tolerate any form of bullying or harassment.
