Add default_power_level_content_override config option. #12535
Conversation
Lets you override the default power levels for rooms created on this server, per room creation preset. Useful if you know that your users need special permissions in rooms that they create (e.g. to send particular types of state events without needing an elevated power level). This takes the same shape as the power_level_content_override parameter in the /createRoom API, but is applied before that parameter. This is something of a workaround in the absence of MSC3779 or MSC3761.

An example use of this would be something like: default_power_level_content_override:
private_chat: { "events": { "com.example.foo" : 0 } }
trusted_private_chat: { "events": { "com.example.foo" : 0 } }
public_chat: { "events": { "com.example.foo" : 0 } }...to let users in locally created rooms set |

The documentation for default_power_level_content_override says that it's applied before power_level_content_override, but here it is the other way around?

Some example non-null content might help admins understand what goes here:
| # private_chat: null | |
| # private_chat: { "events": { "com.example.foo" : 0 } } |
| power_level_content.update( | ||
| default_power_level_content_override.get(preset_config) | ||
| ) |

If an admin were to configure an override like: private_chat: { "events": { "com.example.foo" : 0 } }, the entire default "events": {"m.room.name": ..., ...} content from above will be replaced. Is this intended behaviour?
kind of related to matrix-org/matrix-spec#492
And an entry in the config manual too, please. |

sorry for completely missing this while travelling/catching up - @andybalaam thanks for taking it over. |
