Hi @IQ2022,

i think the "default" setting in your room is persisting:

Can you check that in your admin settings?

If you didn't set the default configuration setting on the room to false as TheReal mentioned, then yes that's working by design.

@graywolf336 this option (channel ->private) shoud be disabled to default rooms?what do you think?

I can confirm. After setting default to false, new users can access the room anymore.

[IQ2022]

there is no where to change default to no default

[IQ2022]

where to change default?

You can just change to default if the channel is public... there are a problem if you open the info channel that you dont subscribe, but I will fix it.
