# Restrict channel creation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!admin-only.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Zulip allows you to separately control [permissions](/help/roles-and-permissions)
 | 
						|
for creating [web-public](/help/public-access-option), public and private
 | 
						|
channels.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For corporations and other organizations with controlled access, we
 | 
						|
recommend keeping channel creation open to make it easy for users to
 | 
						|
self-organize.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Only users in trusted roles (moderators and administrators) can be
 | 
						|
given permission to create web-public channels. This is intended
 | 
						|
[to help manage abuse](/help/public-access-option#managing-abuse) by
 | 
						|
making it hard for an attacker to host malicious content in an
 | 
						|
unadvertised web-public channel in a legitimate organization.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Manage who can create channels
