# Restrict moving messages
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!admin-only.md!}
 |

 | 
						|
Zulip lets you configure which [roles](/help/roles-and-permissions) can edit
 | 
						|
message topics and move topics between channels. In general, allowing all
 | 
						|
organization members to edit message topics is highly recommended because:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- It allows the community to keep conversations organized, even if some members
 | 
						|
  are still learning how to use topics effectively.
 | 
						|
- It lets users [resolve topics](/help/resolve-a-topic).
 | 
						|
- It makes it possible to fix a typo in the topic of a message you just sent.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can let users edit topics without a time limit, or prohibit topic editing on
 | 
						|
older messages to avoid potential abuse. The time limit will never apply to
 | 
						|
administrators and moderators.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Permissions for moving messages between channels can be configured separately.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
