I just configured my ejabberd server, and its running well.
I want only the admin to be able to add contacts between users, or if this isnt possible i would like to block all new contact additions. Is this possible?
oh and also, what is a roster?
Looking for ejabberd docs?

It's described in : "In XMPP, one's contact list is called a roster".

It seems ejabberd can't be configured easily for that.
With mod_shared_roster the admin can enforce some contacts to their users. And if you disable mod_roster in ejabberd.cfg, the user cannot modify their roster... but he will not get the shared groups you configured.
So, I think the best you can do is to use mod_shared_roster to enforce some contacts to your users. They cannot remove those contacts. They will be able to add more contacts.
You should know that in Jabber people can chat with other people, even if they are not added as contacts. You can try that in your server.
alright, thanks for the
alright, thanks for the info.
