Add people to a channel
Open the channel's members list, then add a person by name or email, or add an eligible workgroup.
- Spaces
- Web
- Open the channel and show Conversation members from the channel header, or choose Manage members in Conversation settings.
- Choose Add member.
- Leave Add by on People, then search by Name or email.
- Choose the person, pick a Role, and choose Add member.
The dialog is titled Add member. Roles you can assign are Member, Reviewer, Observer, Guest, and Admin. If the person is already a member the dialog treats it as done.
You can only do this in a channel you manage. In a channel whose membership mode is Everyone in this Space there is nothing to add: Everyone in the Space has access. Manage membership from Space settings.
Add a whole workgroup
Switch Add by to Workgroups to give a whole Space's membership access to this channel in one step. Search by Workgroup name, select it, and choose Bind workgroup. The member list shows these people under Space, with the source Space's name and an inherited-member count.
To undo it, choose Remove from Space in the member list. The confirmation names the Space and warns that people who only had access through it will lose access to this channel.
Removing somebody
Choose Remove beside the person. For an inherited member, use Remove from this conversation instead. They remain a member of the source Space; only their access to this channel changes.
