Easy way to get chat's owner for regular user

Open ankar84 opened this issue 4 years ago • 8 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. At that moment (in 3.18.1 RC version) there is no easy way for regular chat user to get who is an owner of that particular chat. User have 2 complicated ways to get chat owner:

  1. If appearance of user roles is enabled, user can check chat history to find message on owner, and near that message will be hir role owner. But in fact, owner could not write messages at all.
  2. ~Check every single user in member list one-by-one~ (I guess I'm wrong here and one can't do it in member list)

Describe the solution you'd like Users need some easy way to get privileged chat users - creator, other owners and moderators. For example, all privileged users can be sorted to stay on top of member list, and their role can be present near that user

Describe alternatives you've considered N/A

Additional context N/A

An real example for what it can be useful.

If I want to add some channels to a team, I can't because I have to ask the owner of this channel to do it.

I propose to show the channel's owner in the informations panel and like @ankar84 said in the user list as tag.

You need to install an environment to use app engine. Start here:
