5. Team Permissions & Settings

The Team Permissions & Settings module serves as the central configuration hub where team administrators define team-wide policies, access controls, and operational parameters.

This interface uses an accordion-style layout to organize settings into logical categories, allowing admins to establish governance rules that control how members interact, communicate, and collaborate within the workspace.

Core Functionality:

1. Invite Members Settings

Displays all team channels in a comprehensive table view, including:

Admins can:

  • - Restrict invitation rights to administrators only

  • - Allow all members to send invitations

This setting defines the team’s growth model and access control strategy.

2. Team Sign-Up Permissions

Controls how users can join the team through various methods.

Admins can configure:

  • - Team visibility (public or private)

  • - Direct join without invitation (enable/disable)

  • - Approval requirements for join requests

  • - Invite-only mode for restricted access

3. Automatically Add Users

Allows domain-based automatic team membership.

Admins can:

  • - Specify approved email domains whose users are auto-added

  • - Block all domains except approved ones

  • - Simplify onboarding for organization-wide deployments

4. Channel Management Permissions

Defines who can create channels and sets specific limitations.

Admins can configure:

  • - Public channel creation rights (admins only, all members, or specific users)

  • - Private channel creation permissions

  • - Maximum channels per user

  • - Whitelists for specific members allowed to create channels

5. General Permissions

Controls a range of team-wide features including communication and collaboration settings:

  • - Enable/disable audio and video calls

  • - Allow or restrict audio messages

  • - Toggle screen sharing during calls

  • - Set maximum message length

6. File Sharing Permissions

Manages file upload and sharing policies.

Admins can define:

  • - Who can upload files (all members, admins, or specific users)

  • - Allowed file types and formats

  • - Maximum file size per upload

7. Notifications & Messages

Controls communication preferences and notification rules across the team.

Admins can configure:

  • - Enable/disable email notifications for activities

  • - Set message retention periods for auto-deletion

  • - Define default notification levels (all messages, mentions only, or none)

8. Save and Apply Changes

All configuration updates are submitted through a single Save action at the bottom of the form.
