Element Widgets

Element uses some special interaction with the integration manager to make for a clean user experience.

Edit Widget button

Ends up calling $scalar_ui_url?integ_id=...&screen=... alongside the standard parameters for the scalar token and room ID.

screen known values:

• type_jitsi
• type_etherpad
• type_grafana
• type_youtube
• type_googledocs - may be a bug? See vector-im/riot-web#4917
• type_customwidget

Permissions

• Creators of widgets do not get prompted for permission to load
• Only people with permission to add widgets can remove widgets (otherwise it just revokes permission)
• Only creators of widgets can edit them
