Permissions
Adjust workspace-wide settings and preferences in the workspace administration.
#
MentionsSet who can use @channel and @here.
People who can use @channel and @here in all channels, except #general:
- Everyone (default)
- Everyone, except guests
- Owners and Admins only
- Owners only
Users who do not have permissions to use mentions will not see them in the mentions list after entering the @ symbol or typing @here or @channel. If they type the whole mention, mention will be displayed as plain text.
Show warning when using @channel or @here (in channels with at least 6 members):
- Always
- The first time each day
- Once
- Never (default)
When a user wants to use a mention in a channel that has more than 6 members, the information modal comes up to ask him if he is sure because he will alert all channel members using one of these mentions.
Separate channel settings (only #general for now) override general workspace settings for mention permissions. Therefore, the settings for mentions from the Workspace permissions do not apply to #general.
