Configure who can subscribe to a channel
You can give users permission to subscribe to a channel. Everyone other than guests can subscribe to any public or web-public channel, so this feature is intended for use with private channels. Guests can never subscribe themselves to a channel.
This permission grants access to channel content: users who are allowed to subscribe to a channel will also be able to read messages in it without subscribing.
!!! tip ""
For example, you can give your team's [user group](/help/user-groups) permission
to subscribe to each of your team's channels. A designer on the team could then
follow a [link to a
conversation](/help/link-to-a-message-or-conversation#link-to-a-topic-within-zulip)
in the private engineering channel, and read it without subscribing. They could
subscribe if they need to send a message there, without asking for help.
If you have permission to administer a public channel, you can configure who can subscribe to it. For private channels, you additionally need to have content access in order to change this configuration.
