# Users data model
|
||||
|
||||
We track different types of users in our browser code.
|
||||
|
||||
There are three disjoint sets of users you care about
|
||||
for typical Zulip realms:
|
||||
|
||||
- active users in your realm
|
||||
- cross-realm users like welcome-bot@zulip.com
|
||||
- deactivated users in your realm
|
||||
|
||||
You can also think in terms of these user populations:
|
||||
|
||||
- current realm users (active users in your realm)
|
||||
- active users (adds cross-realm bots to current realm users)
|
||||
- all users (adds deactivated users from your realm to active users)
|
||||
|
||||
Each of the above categories makes sense for certain UI functions.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's start with the features that are restricted to active realm
|
||||
users, and let's end with features that can apply to all users.
|
||||
|
||||
Only current realm users can...
|
||||
- be subscribed to streams on your realm
|
||||
- be highlighted in the compose-fade feature
|
||||
- show up in your buddy list
|
||||
- show up in your at-mention typeaheads
|
||||
|
||||
Active users can...
|
||||
- be sent PMs to
|
||||
- show up in your compose recipient typeaheads
|
||||
- show up in search suggestions
|
||||
|
||||
All users can...
|
||||
- show up in your message stream
|
||||
- be narrowed to by clicking on recipient bars, etc.
|
||||
- be narrowed to by searches (but not suggested)
|
||||
- can show up in your "Private messages" sidebar
|
||||
|
||||
We also have the mirroring world, where we have unknown users
|
||||
that we can send PMs to, and local-echo is allowed to create
|
||||
skeleton objects for them. (Typically with mirrors, we are
|
||||
dealing with a third-party chat tool like IRC or Zephyr, and
|
||||
if a user sends a message to a user we don't yet know about,
|
||||
the third party will confirm that the user exists, and we
|
||||
subsequently create a "mirror dummy" user on-demand for that
|
||||
account.)
