Give people access to a channel
Add principals to a channel and decide what each role can do.
Where:
ChannelAdminIAMSteps
- Open IAM
In the channel, open Admin, then IAM. The page shows everyone with access. Switch between View by Principals and View by Roles.
- Add a principal
Choose Add Principal. Enter their Email or User ID, pick a Role and choose Add. They must already have a User ID.
- Change a role
Open the person, pick a new Role and choose Save role. It takes effect at their next page load.
- Adjust what a role can do
Open Roles. Tick or untick each permission against each role, or choose Create role to start from an existing one.
- Remove access
On IAM, choose Delete on their row and confirm. They lose access to the channel immediately.
Tips
The Owner role always keeps full access and cannot be edited, so there is always one way back in.
Built-in roles are Owner, Admin, Editor, Sales, Support and Viewer.
