Prerequisites
XMPP Chat Management must be installed, enabled, & configured
A user must be allowed to log into UCP (set in the User Management Module)
XMPP must be enabled for the user (set in the User Management Module)
Chat With a User
Log into the User Control Panel (UCP).
Click the XMPP icon near the top right-hand corner of the screen.
A drop-down menu will appear. Click on New XMPP or click on a specific user in the list.
Note
Users will not appear in the list if the Presence feature is not enabled for them in the User Management module, or if their current presence state is "unavailable."
If you click on New XMPP, you will need to enter the recipient's username in the To: field. Enter the login name only, not the "@<host>" part. Click Initiate to begin the chat.
If you click on the name of a user, the chat will begin automatically and you will not need to enter a username.

Use the return/enter key to send.
