Because we are reducing the edit functions to one menu item in the Channel Header, we will put all the editing into one Channel Settings modal. This modal will also allow us to offer other Channel Settings that are currently only available in the System Console. This will open it up to other settings in the future as well.
...
The new Channel Settings modal includes:
Channel info
Rename the channel
Edit its URL
Edit the purpose
Edit the header
Permissions
Edit Channel access: Public or Private (to start will only allow conversion from public to private and not the other way around - until we resolve that flow)
Use channel permissions from System Console and bring them in to this modal as well

Permissions for guests and members. This is borrowed from the current system console ‘Channel Moderation’ functionality.

Groups (when this feature is available)
Depending on when this modal is updated, the Groups option may or may not be available. This section provides the ability to link a user group to the active channel. Groups can also be unlinked from the channel through this UI. Details TBD based on the groups feature implementation.
...
Archive Channel
Archiving a channel can be done directly from the channel menu or from the channel settings modal
...
For Direct Messages and Group Messages
Since the only settings that can be changed on a DM is the header, ‘Channel Settings’ changes to ‘Edit Header’. in the menu. This will open an updated Edit Header modal that only provides the field to edit the conversation header.
