- 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. Inherited members are then listed under Space in the member list, marked via {{workgroup}}, and the count reads {{workgroup}} · {{count}} inherited members.
To undo it, choose Remove from Space in the member list. The confirmation says Remove this conversation from {{workgroup}}? Members who only had access through this Space will lose it.
Removing somebody
Choose Remove beside the person. For an inherited member, use Remove from this conversation instead. The confirmation reads Remove {{name}} from this conversation? They stay a member of the {{workgroup}} Space, so this only overrides their access here.
