title: Configure who can subscribe other users to channels

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.
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:
<ContentAccessDefinition />
[Guests](/help/guest-users) are never permitted to subscribe others.
## Configure who can subscribe others to channels in general
<AdminOnly />
<FlattenedSteps>
<NavigationSteps target="settings/organization-permissions" />
1. Under **Channel permissions**, configure **Who can subscribe others to channels**.
<SaveChanges />
</FlattenedSteps>
## Configure who can subscribe anyone to a specific channel
If you have permission to administer a public channel, you can configure who can
subscribe anyone to it. For [private
channels](/help/channel-permissions#private-channels), you additionally need to
have content access in order to change this configuration.
<FlattenedSteps>
<NavigationSteps target="relative/channel/all" />
1. Select a channel.
<SelectChannelViewGeneralAdvanced />
1. Under **Subscription permissions**, configure **Who can subscribe anyone to
this channel**.
<SaveChanges />
