UI Features
===========
Parts of the UI can be disabled using UI features. These are settings which appear
under `settingDefaults` and can only be `true` (default) or `false`. When `false`,
parts of the UI relating to that feature will be disabled regardless of the user's
preferences.
Currently, the following UI feature flags are supported:
* `UIFeature.urlPreviews` - Whether URL previews are enabled across the entire application.
* `UIFeature.feedback` - Whether prompts to supply feedback are shown.
* `UIFeature.voip` - Whether or not VoIP is shown readily to the user. When disabled,
Jitsi widgets will still work though they cannot easily be added.
* `UIFeature.widgets` - Whether or not widgets will be shown.
* `UIFeature.flair` - Whether or not community flair is shown in rooms.
* `UIFeature.communities` - Whether or not to show any UI related to communities. Implicitly
disables `UIFeature.flair` when disabled.
* `UIFeature.advancedSettings` - Whether or not sections titled "advanced" in room and
user settings are shown to the user.
* `UIFeature.shareQrCode` - Whether or not the QR code on the share room/event dialog
is shown.
* `UIFeature.shareSocial` - Whether or not the social icons on the share room/event dialog
are shown.
* `UIFeature.identityServer` - Whether or not functionality requiring an identity server
is shown. When disabled, the user will not be able to interact with the identity
server (sharing email addresses, 3PID invites, etc).
* `UIFeature.thirdPartyId` - Whether or not UI relating to third party identifiers (3PIDs)
is shown. Typically this is considered "contact information" on the homeserver, and is
not directly related to the identity server.
* `UIFeature.registration` - Whether or not the registration page is accessible. Typically
useful if accounts are managed externally.
* `UIFeature.passwordReset` - Whether or not the password reset page is accessible. Typically
useful if accounts are managed externally.
* `UIFeature.deactivate` - Whether or not the deactivate account button is accessible. Typically
useful if accounts are managed externally.
* `UIFeature.advancedEncryption` - Whether or not advanced encryption options are shown to the
user.
