Updating member role in a conversation

Through the WireApplicationManager you can update a member's role in a conversation, such as promoting them to admin or demoting them to a regular member.

note

To update member roles, make sure the conversation is a group or channel, and that the app has admin permissions in the conversation.

Available roles

The ConversationRole enum provides two main roles:

• ADMIN — Full permissions including managing members and conversation settings
• MEMBER — Standard participant with basic messaging permissions

Use Case: Promote a member to admin

Kotlin

val applicationManager = wireAppSdk.getApplicationManager()

val myConversationId = QualifiedId(
    id = UUID.fromString("conversation-id"),
    domain = "conversation-domain.com"
)

val memberToPromote = QualifiedId(
    id = UUID.fromString("member-user-id"),
    domain = "member-domain.com"
)

applicationManager.updateConversationMemberRoleSuspending(
    conversationId = myConversationId,
    userId = memberToPromote,
    newRole = ConversationRole.ADMIN
)

Java

WireApplicationManager applicationManager = wireAppSdk.getApplicationManager();

QualifiedId myConversationId = new QualifiedId(
        UUID.fromString("conversation-id"),
        "conversation-domain.com"
);

QualifiedId memberToPromote = new QualifiedId(
        UUID.fromString("member-user-id"),
        "member-domain.com"
);

applicationManager.updateConversationMemberRole(
        myConversationId,
        memberToPromote,
        ConversationRole.ADMIN
);

Use Case: Demote an admin to member

Kotlin

applicationManager.updateConversationMemberRoleSuspending(
    conversationId = myConversationId,
    userId = memberToDemote,
    newRole = ConversationRole.MEMBER
)

Java

applicationManager.updateConversationMemberRole(
        myConversationId,
        memberToDemote,
        ConversationRole.MEMBER
);
