• Making a channel “read-only” (or the inverse, enabling posting) for members and guests

• Allowing or disallowing members and guest from adding and removing other members

• Allowing or disallowing members and guests from using channel - mentions (@all, @channel, @here)

...

• add a channel-scoped permission to a team scheme with an associated team

• remove a channel-scoped permissions from a team scheme with an associated team

• add a team to a team scheme

• remove a team from a team scheme

Question: Is updating permissions from higher-scoped schemes' roles to channel schemes' roles compatible and feasible with the future custom roles feature?

Permissions

New permission:

...

manage_public_channel_properties
manage_private_channel_properties
delete_public_channel
delete_private_channel
remove_others_reactions
upload_file
create_post_public
create_post_ephemeral
manage_channel_roles
read_channel

Question: Do we need to expose create_post and use_channel_mentions in the system and team schemes UI?

Schema

There are no schema changes.

...

The new Roles records that are created will be updated to match the Permissions value from the higher-scoped scheme. Question: does it already copy the permissions from the previous scheme? If so then no update is required. If not can we consider making that a permanent part of the create team and channel scheme API behaviour, avoiding a separate update?

When “enable channel moderation” toggled off, a DELETE request is made to /api/v4/schemes/:scheme_id. 

Question: Does the delete scheme API endpoint cleanup orphaned Roles records? If not does it make sense to make that a permanent part of the API behaviour?

The ability to send @here, @all, and @channel must have access controlled by the new use_channel_mentions permission.

...

Configuration

None needed. Question: will channel moderation be experimental?

Frontend

• Design of channel moderation UI in the system console TBD.

• Preventing posting based on permissions (rather than it currently being prevented based on the experimental read-only town square feature) must be implemented throughout the UI.

• Preventing access to @here, @all, @channel must be controlled by the new use_channel_mentions permission.
