Description

I created a user and assigned only the role guest. Now when trying to add that user to a specific channel I get the error message The maximum number of rooms per guest has been reached.

Where can I set the “maximum number of rooms per guest”?

Looking into the code (by searching for the error message in the github repo) I got to this file:

It seems that there is no possibility to set the “maximum number of rooms per guest” value, rather the kind of license your server uses determines it.

Where can I find information on which license allows how many rooms per guest?

It may be that adding a new role which does the same as ‘guest’ but with a different name, might allow users that can not see everything but should be allowed to peak into specific channels of your rockechat community. Adding a new role also requires a non-free license, though.

We have the same problem. If it is not allowed to add a “guest” user to a channel, what is this role good for?
