Notes

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

As a System Admin, I want the ability to restrict posting/interacting to channel admins and higher in specified channels, so that I can create announcement channels.

 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

 As a System Admin, I want the ability to restrict the adding and removing of other members in a specified channel, so that I have better control over important channels.

  • Disable channel @mentions (e.g. Channel, Here)

    • Only channel admins can @Mention members within the channel using the @all, @channel and @here commands

    • Even when toggled to “off” @Mentioning specific users will still be allowed

 As a System Admin, I want the ability to disable channel mentions, so that I have better control over important channels.

How does "Member Management" work with the Permissions schemes in the case that Users are not able to "Manage Channel Members" under the Public and Private channel permissions? Is this feature still available to be enabled or is it in a read-only state?

What happens when user tries to mention the @Channel and the setting is disabled?

...

  • Chat-facing page for Channel Admins and above to adjust settings

  • Toggle allowing reactions

  • Toggle allowing post pinning

  • LHS icon to identify read-only channels

  • CLI Commands for management of settings

  • Filter on channel listing that displays channels with moderation enabled
