| # Restrict moving messages
 | |
| 
 | |
| {!admin-only.md!}
 | |
| 
 | |
| Zulip lets you configure which [roles](/help/roles-and-permissions) can edit
 | |
| message topics and move topics between streams. 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 lets users [resolve topics](/help/resolve-a-topic).
 | |
| - 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 streams can be configured separately.
 | |
| 
 | |
