Configure who can administer a channel

Organization administrators can automatically administer all channels.

If you have permission to administer a public or web-public channel, you can:

  • See and modify the channel's name and description.
  • Subscribe and unsubscribe users.
  • Modify the channel's permissions settings, including settings that control who can see messages in the channel (public vs. private, shared history vs. protected history).
  • Archive the channel.

For private channels, you additionally need to be a subscriber in order to add subscribers or change channel permissions.
