Is it possible to have a user join a channel but only have read permissions?
There isn’t any built in way to achieve this. That being said, you could utilize channel metadata to flag the users as read only, and then do a check when rendering that would prevent the user from sending. https://sendbird.com/docs/chat/v3/platform-api/guides/user-and-channel-metadata#2-create-a-channel-metadata
I’d love an example of how to restrict a user from sending a message in the Swift SDK. I’ve been trying for some time and everything I try has some layout issue or other if I start trying to mess with the message input.
