mod_measure_modules: Report module statuses via OpenMetrics Someone in the chat asked about a health check endpoint, which reminded me of mod_http_status, which provides access to module statuses with full details. After that, this idea came about, which seems natural. As noted in the README, it could be used to monitor that critical modules are in fact loaded correctly. As more modules use the status API, the more useful this module and mod_http_status becomes.

summary: XMPP-layer access control for Prosody
---

Introduction
============

This module enforces access policies using Prosody's new [roles and
permissions framework](https://prosody.im/doc/developers/permissions). It can
be used to grant restricted access to an XMPP account or services.

This module is still in its early stages, and prone to change. Feedback from
testers is welcome. At this early stage, it should not be solely relied upon
for account security purposes.

Configuration
=============

There is no configuration, apart from Prosody's normal roles and permissions
configuration.

Permissions
===========

`xmpp:federate`
: Communicate with other users and services on other hosts on the XMPP network
