Detailed Description

This section explains how to configure a server and setup user accounts.

The server keeps track of which users are in which channels and ensures that users in the same channel can communicate with each other. It is also the job of the server to provide user authentication so only users with the proper credentials are allowed to do certain operations.

It is a good idea to check out section TeamTalk Server Setup Guide to learn how to configure the TeamTalk server.

The server's name, message of the day (MOTD) can be updated using the BearWare.ServerProperties-struct. Only users with UserRight.USERRIGHT_UPDATE_SERVERPROPERTIES are allowed change a server's properties while it's running. This is done using the command TeamTalkBase.DoUpdateServer().

Sections:

User Administration

Two types of users exists on a server, default users (UserType.USERTYPE_DEFAULT) and administrator users (UserType.USERTYPE_ADMIN). The UserType-enum can be used to see who is what. A user of UserType.USERTYPE_ADMIN have unrestricted rights on the server and can issue any command to the server whereas a default user is limited to the UserRights which are assigned to the uUserRights member of the user's BearWare.UserAccount.

As administrator it is possible to list all users who have an account on the server using TeamTalkBase.DoListUserAccounts(). To create a new user account call the command TeamTalkBase.DoNewUserAccount() and to delete an account call TeamTalkBase.DoDeleteUserAccount().

Kicking and Banning Users

Sometimes it may be necessary to kick and ban users from a server. With UserRight.USERRIGHT_KICK_USERS it is possible to use the command TT_DoKickUser() to kick a user off the server. A channel operator (TT_DoChannelOp()) can also kick a user from a channel (but not off a server).

With UserRight.USERRIGHT_BAN_USERS it is also possible to ban users from the server, so they can no longer log in. This can be done using TT_DoBanUser(). To list who are currently banned call TT_DoListBans() and to remove a ban call TT_DoUnBanUser().
