Openfire Roster communication only

I am trying to implement a webchat using Openfire as a server. (at this moment i am using version 4.0.2) and implementing a web client using Strophe.js

I would like to know if there is a way to restrict the communication between users that are in their roster.

Example:

So the users can only communicate with each ohter are: Alice + Charlie Bob + Charlie

But

Alice and Bob cannot talk with each other.

Other important thing would be the roster can only be managed by the administrator

NOTES

I Have already made some experiences and at this moment with Openfire everybody can talk with everybody.

Your scenario seems like you need custom functionality, because Openfire works on XMPP standards and in XMPP i can communicate with anyone having a Jabber ID, just like I can communicate with anyone on WhatsApp if I have their contact number (Jabber ID).

One possible hack can be to add custom code in Openfire, when message is being routed, you can check if the recipient exists in the roster of sender. And make the decision on that.

However, Roster management by an administrator can be done without any changes. User rosters can be managed from Openfire Admin Interface.
