By default, users can post files along with the messages they post. You can prevent users from posting files in two ways:
- Preventing all users from posting files within a certain
category or chat room.
- Preventing a certain user from posting files in any chat room.
The user cannot post files in any chat room, even a chat room that
allows file posting.
Note: |

Federated users cannot post or download files in chat rooms. |
