# Create a channel
|
||||
|
||||
By default, all users other than guests can create channels. Administrators can
|
||||
[restrict the ability to create a channel](/help/configure-who-can-create-channels) to specific
|
||||
[roles](/help/user-roles).
|
||||
{!depends-on-permissions.md!}
|
||||
|
||||
If you are an administrator setting up channels for the first time, check out our
|
||||
[guide to setting up channels for a new organization](/help/create-channels).

## Channel options
|
||||
|
||||
There are several parameters you can set while creating a channel. All but
|
||||
**Announce channel** you can change later.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Channel name**: Appears in the left sidebar for subscribed users. The
|
||||
channel name can be in any language, and can include spaces and other
|
||||
punctuation.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Channel description**: Helps users decide whether to subscribe when they
|
||||
are browsing channels.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Announce new channel in the [channel configured by your organization](/help/configure-automated-notices#new-channel-announcements)**:
|
||||
Posts a message in the "new channels" topic advertising the new channel.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Who can access this channel**: See [Channel permissions](/help/channel-permissions).
|
||||
|
||||
* **Default channel for new users**: Whether new users will be [automatically
|
||||
subscribed](/help/set-default-channels-for-new-users) to the new channel.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Who can post to this channel**: See [Channel permissions](/help/channel-permissions).
|
||||
|
||||
* **Who can unsubscribe others from this channel**: See [Configure who can
|
||||
unsubscribe others](/help/configure-who-can-unsubscribe-others).
|
||||
|
||||
* **Message retention period**: See
|
||||
[Message retention policy](/help/message-retention-policy#configure-message-retention-policy-for-individual-channels).
|
||||
|
||||
* **Choose subscribers**: You can copy the membership from an existing channel or
|
||||
[user group](/help/user-groups), add all users, or enter users one by one.
