title: Restrict channel creation

Zulip allows you to separately control [permissions](/help/manage-permissions)
|
|
for creating [web-public](/help/public-access-option), public and private
|
|
channels.
|
|
|
|
For corporations and other organizations with controlled access, we
|
|
recommend keeping channel creation open to make it easy for users to
|
|
self-organize.
|
|
|
|
Only users in trusted roles (moderators and administrators) can be
|
|
given permission to create web-public channels. This is intended
|
|
[to help manage abuse](/help/public-access-option#managing-abuse) by
|
|
making it hard for an attacker to host malicious content in an
|
|
unadvertised web-public channel in a legitimate organization.
|
|
|
|
### Manage who can create channels
|
|
|
|
<Tabs>
|
|
<TabItem label="Public channels">
|
|
<FlattenedSteps>
|
|
<NavigationSteps target="settings/organization-permissions" />
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Channel permissions**, configure **Who can create public channels**.
|
|
|
|
<SaveChanges />
|
|
</FlattenedSteps>
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
|
|
<TabItem label="Private channels">
|
|
<FlattenedSteps>
|
|
<NavigationSteps target="settings/organization-permissions" />
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Channel permissions**, configure **Who can create private channels**.
|
|
|
|
<SaveChanges />
|
|
</FlattenedSteps>
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
|
|
<TabItem label="Web-public channels">
