- Open the Talk Administration settings
- Limit Talk to be used only by admin group
- Open Talk and create a new public conversation
- Copy the link for the public conversation
- In a private window, log in as a regular user
- Open the link for the public conversation
Expected behaviour
The conversation loads.
