fyi.opensocial.channel

A channel of a group's site kept for chosen people: only they can see it, read what's in it, or change it, whoever runs the group included. The group keeps it, its host on their behalf; it holds the channel itself, its name, tabs and pages of their own, as the group's one record.

The record collections clients of this space type use. A space: scope covers these unless it names its own.

Asking for it

OAuth scope

A client asks for access to spaces of this type with this scope. On its own it covers your own spaces, with any key, and reading, creating, updating and deleting records in the collections above; authority, skey, collection, action and manage narrow or widen that. From the Atproto Spaces proposal (0016).

  • The group's public face. Profile, rules, how to get in. Often readable by anyone, though may be private to members.

  • A tab's own space, keyed by the tab's namespace: where it keeps what it makes when it has no place of its own — docs, drafts. The group keeps it, and its readers are exactly whoever can see the tab. Each writer's records are in their own repo in the space.

    record not from the namespace authority

    A channel for chosen people, as its space holds it: its address, its name, its tabs in order as a group's site has them, and the files of their own those tabs show. Who it's for is its space's access.

  • A conversation between people, hosted by whoever started it, not by a group. Its member list is everyone in it; each person's messages are in their own repo in the space. The starter's about record says who's in it.

  • Each person's own inbox, hosted by them rather than by a group: where groups' invites arrive, where whoever puts them in a conversation leaves a pointer to it, and where they keep how far they've read their conversations and their groups' chats, boards and calendars, which only they read.
