Restrict publishing rights to authorized streamers or moderators.
4. Collaborative Applications

Manage roles like editor or viewer in shared documents, whiteboards, or design tools.
-
Dynamically update permissions as teams change.
5. Gaming and Multiplayer Platforms
-
Control access to game lobbies, sessions, or chat.

Prevent cheating or unauthorized actions by limiting publish/subscribe permissions.
6. Customer Support and Remote Assistance

Revoke access once a session is complete to maintain security.
7. Subscription Services

Deliver real-time financial, traffic, or social data streams to paying subscribers.
