Test: Join Session, Join Voice, Moderator Abilities

  • With a user who is the owner of a group (or at least one who has the ability to grant abilities to others), have the user set a particular role the ability to "join chat session" and "join voice chat". Preferably this should be done with the "Everyone" role.
