[Steve Kille] I think there are good use cases where owners/adminstrators are not participants. I gave two of them in the response I just wrote to Ralph.

[Steve Kille] If there is no explicit owner, the expectation is that Owner rights are handled by a server admin. Administrators and Owners are similar. The key difference is that an Administrator cannot add/remove Owners/Administrators. An Administrator has some trusted functions, whereas an Owner has full rights. There is no reason for Owners and Administrators to be participants. Think of the corporate case where channels are not managed by users. > > Kind regards. > Manuel Rubio.
