mod_muc_moderation: Derive role from reserved nickname if occupant
When using a different client to moderate than the one used to
participate in the chat, e.g. a command line tool like clix, there's no
occupant and no role to use in the permission check. Previously the
default role based on affiliation was used. Now if you are present in
the room using your reserved nick, the role you have there is used in
the permission check instead of the default affiliation-derived role.

--- labels: - Stage-Alpha summary: Compatibility layer for Prosody's future roles API --- Introduction ============ This module provides compatibility with Prosody's new role and permissions system. It aims to run on Prosody 0.11 and 0.12, providing a limited version of the new API backed by is_admin() (which is not going to be present in trunk and future Prosody versions). It is designed for use by modules which want to be compatible with Prosody versions with and without the new permissions API. Configuration ============= There is no configuration. Usage (for developers) ====================== If you are a module developer, and want your module to work with Prosody trunk and future releases, you should avoid the `usermanager.is_admin()` function. Instead, depend on this module: ``` module:depends("compat_roles") ``` Then use `module:may()` instead: ``` if module:may(":do-something") then -- Blah end ``` For more information on the new role/permissions API, check Prosody's developer documentation at https://prosody.im/doc/developers/permissions Compatibility ============= Requires Prosody 0.11 or 0.12.
