Description

Here's the power levels event (users removed for privacy; my account does not have any explicit permissions):

{
	"events_default": 0,
	"invite": 0,
	"state_default": 50,
	"redact": 50,
	"ban": 50,
	"users_default": 10,
	"events": {
		"m.room.avatar": 50,
		"m.room.name": 50,
		"m.room.power_levels": 100,
		"im.vector.modular.widgets": 50,
		"m.room.canonical_alias": 50,
		"m.room.history_visibility": 100,
		"m.room.topic": 50
	},
	"kick": 50,
	"users": {
		"@redacted:somewhere.com": 100
	}
}

The notable concerns are:

  • "The default role for new room members is Default" - This feels like a "you don't say" statement.
  • "To send messages, you must be a Restricted" - What does this mean to the user?
