# Configure who can subscribe to a channel
|
|
|
|
You can give users permission to subscribe to a channel. Everyone other than
|
|
[guests](/help/guest-users) can subscribe to any
|
|
[public](/help/channel-permissions#public-channels) or
|
|
[web-public](/help/channel-permissions#web-public-channels) channel, so this
|
|
feature is intended for use with [private
|
|
channels](/help/channel-permissions#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](/help/channel-permissions#private-channels), you additionally need to
|
|
have content access in order to change this configuration.
