After many user requests, the latest release of HipChat adds functionality for group admins to view and edit all the rooms in the group (including private rooms). If you’re a group admin, you might notice some new icons in your lobby:

These gears will also show up for any private rooms that you own. You will also notice a new UI for controlling permissions in private rooms. It should be clearer to add and remove members from the room:

We hope this update gives more teams the level of control they’ve wanted over their data. As always, please head over to http://help.hipchat.com to send us any suggestions, comments, problems or feedback.
