2.2.2.11 permissions Element Extensions

  • Article

The permissions extension is used to communicate static and immutable permission values which affect the availability of various Web Conferencing MCU functionality to specific groups of participants within the conference.

The permissions element is a container of permission-type elements, each describing the value of a particular permission for the Web Conferencing MCU in the conference.

The following child-elements are defined for each permission-type element:

  • name: An xs:string element identifying the permission option.

  • value: An xs:string element describing the current value of the permission option.

The Web Conferencing MCU SHOULD publish the following permission names and values. For additional details about Web Conferencing MCU-specific concepts, see [MS-PSOM].

  • EnableDataCollaboration: The value is "false" if the Web Conferencing MCU will deny any participant in the conference from using Web Conferencing functionality. Otherwise, the value is "true". If unspecified, the value SHOULD be assumed to be "false".

  • AllowAnnotations: The value is "false" if the Web Conferencing MCU will deny any participant in the conference from creating annotations on any type of content. Otherwise, the value is "true". If unspecified, the value SHOULD be assumed to be "false".

  • AllowExternalUsersToSaveContent: The value is "false" if the Web Conferencing MCU will deny any anonymous or federated participant in the conference from downloading the original binary file contents for content on the Web Conferencing MCU. Otherwise, the value is "true". If unspecified, the value SHOULD be assumed to be "false".

  • EnableFileTransfer: The value is "false" if the Web Conferencing MCU will deny any participant in the conference from downloading the original binary file contents for content on the Web Conferencing MCU. Otherwise the value is "true". If unspecified, the value SHOULD be assumed to be "false".

  • AllowQna: The value is "false" if the Web Conferencing MCU will deny any participant in the conference from creating Q&A content. Otherwise, the value is "true". If unspecified, the value SHOULD be assumed to be "false".

  • AllowOfficeContent: The value is "false" if the Web Conferencing MCU will deny any participant in the conference from creating Office content (for example, PowerPoint). Otherwise, the value is "true". If unspecified, the value SHOULD be assumed to be "false".
