By default, all Workspace Owners and Admins can manage public channels with channel management tools. The Workspace Primary Owner can also manage private channels and allow other Workspace Owners or select Workspace Owners and Admins to manage them as well.

Note: Private channels are only accessible with channel management tools if a request to export data from all channels and conversations has been approved for your workspace.

2. Hover over Tools & settings, then select Workspace settings.

By default, the Org Primary Owner can manage public and private channels across their org, and Workspace Owners/Admins can manage public channels in their workspace(s). The Org Primary Owner can extend channel management permissions to also allow the following:

• Org Owners and Org Admins can manage public and private channels for their org.
• Workspace Owners can manage private channels for the individual workspaces they manage.
