Meeting Hosts access to all groups causes potential spam risk

Hi all,

When we create new Adobe Connect users, we usually add them into a "Meeting Hosts" group so they have permissions to create their own meeting rooms.

What we have noticed however is any host can then invite the full "Meeting Hosts" group. This is unlikely but if abused, could be interpreted as a form of spam.

Would it be possible to:
(a) Hide the groups from other users (in our case, only administrators would need to see this) when they are creating a new meeting or,

(b) Suppress the email invitation. We'd prefer not to do this option as the invite is useful. In our case however, we usually encourage hosts to invite participants as guests, so the invite is not crucial.

Any feedback on the options above, or further suggestions?

Thanks,
Sam

Sam,

(a) No, the user and group list is visible to all who have permission to do something in Connect that requires assigning users.

(b) Kind of. Ther isn't much in the way of turning off this feature. If the meeting room is set to publicly accessible (Anyone who has the URL for the meeting may join) then the email option does kind of become suppressed as it will call to the individual's email client to create an email rather than sending one from the Connect system.

Hope that helps.
