Chat: manage a channel — members, roles, and notifications

Open a channel and click the settings icon in the header. Name, description, member management, and webhooks are only available for your own team and project channels — for General, Announcements, Admin, direct messages, and meeting chats, only notifications and hiding remain there.

Change the name and description and click Save. Only channel Admins can do this — for every other member, the fields are read-only.

1. Click Add member to bring more organization members into the channel — they're added as Member at first.
2. Use the role dropdown next to a person to set Admin, Member, or Viewer.
3. Use the remove icon to take a person out of the channel.

Every action automatically posts a system message to the channel (e.g. "X added Y"), so every member can follow the history.

• Admin: can post, manage members, rename, create webhooks, and delete the channel.
• Member: can read and post, but not change settings.
• Viewer: can only read, never post — Project Manager sometimes assigns this role automatically to the management chain of a newly added member, so managers can see the channel without being invited themselves.

The Notifications toggle controls push and in-app notifications for new messages in exactly this channel, independent of your other chats.

For team and project channels, Leave channel (any member, for themselves) and Delete channel (Admins only, removes the channel for everyone permanently) are available at the bottom. Every other channel type is missing both actions — only hiding remains there.
