hubot allow in private chats

[mrplow]

Your Rocket.Chat version: 0.48 dev

This isn't so much a bug as it is a feature request.

Internal and external hubot isn't allowed to chat in private groups as a basic rule I believe.

I think there should be an settings option to allow him into all or specified private groups.

@mrplow I can't comment with certainty for internal hubot. But I know external hubot if you add bot user to the room and you use the LISTEN_ON_ALL_PUBLIC=true environment variable and don't specify a room it will join any room its a part of.

@geekgonecrazy good to know, I'll test that out when I get a chance. Thanks

Rocket v0.57

I'm trying to find a resolution to this so I can add the internal bot to a private channel.

Why is it disabled for Private channels ? (we only use Private within our organisation)

Is there a work around ? Is there a DB entry that could be modified, or an ENV var ?

Could it be made switchable ?

Wondering if this closed bug is related : #3132

Any advice appreciated.
