private one-on-one and group conversations, inline image previews, team
presence/buddy lists, a rich API, Markdown message support, and numerous

members of particular groups (using email domain names or corporate
single-sign-on login for verification). For more on security
considerations, see [the security model section](../production/security-model.html).
