Objective
By adding business value in the form of channel restrictions we enable new use cases that are in high demand from customers and enable growth. This feature also enables the highly requested “Read Only/Announcement Channels” toggle and we expect this to substantially advance user expansion for enterprise customers.
Channel restrictions created that are set per channel in System Console (only channel admins can post, add/remove members, or @mention the channel). Any number of channels can have these restrictions enabled. Each channel setting can be toggled individually in the System Console.

| 1 | Make this channel Read Only (only channel admins can post) Posts by Channel Admins Only Handle a large number of users in the channel at the same time without performance issues Disallow members to emoji react (out of scope - only choosing from pre-selected emoji) Disallow pinning of posts
| | | I | | |
| 2 | Deprecate setting: "ExperimentalTownSquareIsReadOnly": false" | | | I | | |
| 3 | Allow members to add and remove other users Only admins can add/remove members in the channel If this setting is turned on after members exist, they will remain, but only admins can modify Remove toggle when group sync is turned on
