We should probably prevent admins from leaving a room that would otherwise be non-empty

(apologies if this is a dup, but I couldn't find an existing issue)

This should also be enforced server-side, but preventing it on the client side would be helpful too.

@jaypatelani: sounds like an unrelated issue.

@uhoreg: the admin could rejoin, so stopping them leaving seems over-strict.

@rivhvdh if Admin makes room invited only before leaving he can't join back. Thanks

If they rejoin, then won't they just be a normal user?

If you don't want to stop them from leaving, then how about popping up a warning?

no, power levels are in a separate event which persists.

@jaypatelani raises a valid point.

A warning certainly sounds sane.

Founder semantics could be a solution here too: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/652

I accidentally left an invite-only room, where I was the only admin. And now I can't re-join :/

what's the verdict on this one?

  • check if admin is the last one leaving the room
  • prompt with a warning message and prevent them from leaving until they promote another user to admin?

At the moment, we have this message:

Screenshot from 2022-01-17 12-27-03

I think we need the design team to confirm that that's how the dialog should look.

I don't think we should make the last person unable to leave a room. The product team needs to decide how to handle last admin leaving a room.

@Arnei
Add leave room warning for last admin
2f4fac0 
If the last room administrator leaves a room, other users cannot
gain admin privilges anymore, leaving the room in an unmoderable
state. To help in avoiding this scenario without actually preventing
an admin from leaving the room if they really want, this commit
adds a new warning message.

I believe the PR linked above would close this issue and as Product and Design have given feedback on the PR will be removing those labels
