# Configure who can subscribe other users to channels

		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Configure who can subscribe others to channels in general
 | 
			
		||||
You can configure who can subscribe other users to channels. If you have
 | 
			
		||||
permission to subscribe users [to a specific
 | 
			
		||||
channel](#configure-who-can-subscribe-anyone-to-a-specific-channel), you can
 | 
			
		||||
always do so, whether or not you're subscribed yourself.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Subscribing someone to a channel requires having content access to that channel.
 | 
			
		||||
All [members](/help/user-roles) of an organization can access content in [public
 | 
			
		||||
channels](/help/channel-permissions).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For [private channels](/help/channel-permissions), content access must be
 | 
			
		||||
granted explicitly. Users have content access if:
 | 
			
		||||
There is also a [general
 | 
			
		||||
permission](#configure-who-can-subscribe-others-to-channels-in-general), which
 | 
			
		||||
allows subscribing others to all [public
 | 
			
		||||
channels](/help/channel-permissions#public-channels). For [private
 | 
			
		||||
channels](/help/channel-permissions#private-channels), you additionally need to
 | 
			
		||||
have content access to the channel in order to use this permission. Users have
 | 
			
		||||
content access if:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
{!content-access-definition.md!}
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
[Guests](/help/guest-users) are never permitted to subscribe others.

		||||
