Right, the issue/problem I currently have, is when setting up the chat server, I wish to have some control over the ability to create an admin account with a name of my choice during chat server setup.

Not too sure if or how this can be implemented, as I know that when I go to log in via tor browser, it gives a name automatically, which I change manually.

It would be nice to be able to control the admin name, and have at least some kind of admin account, even a basic one.

Is this possible to do, or would it be unstable/insecure?

It's not possible to do right now, I can definitely see a feature to add name to the chat room but I am not sure there is a way to separate the admin from the user when they visit the chat room without doing some form of authentication.

I think I don't really understand what you are hoping to get from having an admin setup? Do you want like whenever you enter the chat room, your name is remembered? Or is it because the admin name would instill trust on the other others joining, or something else?

Basically all I'm looking at adding tomthe onionshare chat server is the option form when you set it up, it allows you to access the chat from the software, with an account that shows you are the admin/room host (with opportunity to change the name before Starting the service).

It's a big ask, and I appreciate your time in responding.
