In RC ’s one-to-one chat, you can use either a blocklist or an allowlist—but not both. The blocklist is enabled by default. Here’s how they work:
One-to-one chat blocklist
Block users you don’t want to receive messages from. Users on your blocklist can’t message you. The blocklist is on by default. Examples:
-
If user B is on user A’s blocklist, but user A isn’t on user B’s blocklist, user B can’t message user A, but user A can message user B.
-
If both user A and user B are on each other’s blocklists, they can’t message each other.
-
If neither user A nor user B is on the other’s blocklist, they can message each other.
The blocklist is supported in both the SDK and Server API.

One-to-one chat allowlist
Only users on your allowlist can message you. Others can’t. This is ideal for close friend scenarios.
The allowlist is off by default. When enabled, the blocklist becomes inactive. Examples:
-
If user A is on user B’s allowlist, but user B isn’t on user A’s allowlist, user A can message user B, but user B can’t message user A.
-
If both user A and user B are on each other’s allowlists, they can message each other.
-
If neither user A nor user B is on the other’s allowlist, they can’t message each other.
Currently, the allowlist is supported via the Server API.
