Private channels
Private channels should be used when access to the channel needs to be restricted in some way. In order for a user to subscribe to a private channel permission must be authorized. The authorization occurs via a HTTP Request to a configurable authorization url when the subscribe method is called with a private- channel name. In the JavaScript client library the HTTP Request is executed via AJAX (see Authorizing Users).
