Jira Issue

1

Capability to turn off post creation for guests & members (only Channel Admins and above can post)

  • Ensure that bots can still post to channels where guests & members cannot

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.

3

 Capability to turn off members ability to to add and remove other members

  • Only channel admins and above can add/remove members in the channel

  • If this setting is turned on after members exist, they will remain, but only admins can modify

  • Must be inactive 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.

4

 Capability to turn off channel mentions for guests & members

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

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

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?
