# Restrict moving messages
{!admin-only.md!}
Zulip lets you configure who can edit message topics and move topics between
channels. These permissions can be granted to any combination of
[roles](/help/user-roles), [groups](/help/user-groups), and individual
[users](/help/introduction-to-users).
In general, allowing all organization members to edit message topics is highly
recommended because:
- It allows the community to keep conversations organized, even if some members
are still learning how to use topics effectively.
- It makes it possible to fix a typo in the topic of a message you just sent.
You can let users edit topics without a time limit, or prohibit topic editing on
older messages to avoid potential abuse. The time limit will never apply to
administrators and moderators.
Permissions for moving messages between channels can be configured separately.
