Feature Description

  • The app admin can mute certain group members for a specific period of time.
  • The app admin can unmute certain group members.
  • After muted users exit from and then enter a group again, they remain muted.

API Invocation Description

Applicable group types

Group Type Support this RESTful API
Private No (see the following note)
Public Yes
ChatRoom Yes
AVChatRoom Yes
BChatRoom No (see the following note)

IM provides the preceding five built-in group types. For details on these types, see Group Systems.

  • Private group members cannot be muted.
  • In a BChatRoom group, only the app admin can send messages. Therefore, muting and unmuting are unnecessary in this case.

Error Codes

Unless a network error (such as error 502) occurs, the HTTP return code for this API is always 200. ErrorCode and ErrorInfo in the response packet represent the actual error code and error information, respectively.
For common error codes (60000 to 79999), see Error Codes.
The following table describes the error codes specific to this API:

Error Code Description
10002 An internal server error occurred. In this case, try again.
10003 A request command keyword is invalid.
10004 A parameter is invalid. In this case, check whether the request is correct based on the error description.
10007 The operation permissions are insufficient. For example, a common member in a public group tries to delete other users, but only the app admin can do so.
10010 The group does not exist or has been dismissed.
10015 The group ID is invalid. In this case, check whether the group ID is correct.
