# Set default channels for new users
{!admin-only.md!}
You can configure a default set of channels that users will be subscribed to
when they join your organization. Default channels must be [public or
web-public](/help/channel-permissions).
When you [send an email
invitation](/help/invite-new-users#send-email-invitations) or [create a reusable
invitation link](/help/invite-new-users#create-a-reusable-invitation-link), you
can customize which channels the invited users are subscribed to. Note that
subscribing new users to a channel generally requires having
[permissions](/help/channel-permissions) to do so, but anyone with
[permissions](/help/restrict-account-creation#change-who-can-send-invitations)
to invite new users can subscribe them to any combination of default channels.
