Subscription

[edit] What is a subscription

In the Jabber World, being able to see somebody else's presence on the net is called being subscribed to that person's presence information.

[edit] Subscription states

There are four primary subscription states, named depending on the subscription direction between a user (you) and a contact (a remote user).

• None -- the user does not have a subscription to the contact's presence information, and the contact does not have a subscription to the user's presence information
• To -- the user has a subscription to the contact's presence information, but the contact does not have a subscription to the user's presence information
• From -- the contact has a subscription to the user's presence information, but the user does not have a subscription to the contact's presence information
• Both -- both the user and the contact have subscriptions to each other's presence information (i.e., the union of 'from' and 'to')

[edit] Authorization Actions

There are three authorization actions that may be taken between a user (you) and a contact (a remote user).

• Resend authorization to -- the contact is given authorization to the user's (your) presence information
• Request authorization from -- a request is sent to the contact for the user (you) to receive authorization to the contact's presence information
• Remove authorization from -- the contact's authorization to the user's (your) presence information is removed
