BigBlueButton Guest Access

✅ Guest Join for BigBlueButton (BBB) Rooms

This feature enables anonymous users to join a BigBlueButton room via a dedicated guest link in Drupal. It includes optional password protection, consent capture via an integrated Consent Management module, and full logging for auditability.

🔧 Key Features

• Guest Access via Clean URL
  
  Anonymous users can access BBB rooms through URLs like:
  
  /node/123/guest-join
  
  No Drupal login required.
• Configurable BBB Field Settings
  
  A BBB room node includes two key Boolean fields:
  • ✔ Guest Join Allowed: Enables guest access
  • ✔ SECRET: (Optional) Requires a shared guest password to join the room
• Optional Guest Password (SECRET)
  
  When enabled:
  • A password field is displayed on the guest join screen
  • The guest must enter the correct password before continuing
• Consent Enforcement
  
  Integrated with the Consent Management module (also by think modular):
  • Guests must agree to the platform’s data usage policy
  • Consent is stored via the Consent Management API
  • Supports consent versioning and policy audit trails
• Guest Join UI
  
  Anonymous users see:
  • Display Name input field
  • Consent checkbox (from Consent Management module)
  • Password field (if SECRET is enabled)
  • Join button
• Audit Logging
  
  Every guest join attempt is written to the Drupal watchdog log, including:
  • Node ID
  • Timestamp
  • Display Name
  • IP address
  • Consent version ID (if applicable)
