:::info Currently, you can only set up channel permissions using Status desktop. :::

Community owners can set up permissions using three different variables: Who holds, Is allowed to and In. For each one of them, follow the same procedure and use the table below as a reference.

What to expect

• Using channel permissions, community owners can restrict channel access and actions to specific people based on token requirements.
• Only the community owner can set up channel permissions.
• Use community permissions to make the entire community private. You can combine community-level and channel-level permission in the same community.
• When you delete a private channel, the channel permissions are lost. If you recreate the channel, you need to set up its permission again.
