You can configure who can subscribe other users to channels. If you have permission to subscribe users to a specific channel, you can always do so, whether or not you're subscribed yourself.

There is also a general permission, which allows subscribing others to all public channels. For private channels, you additionally need to have content access to the channel in order to use this permission. Users have content access if:

<ContentAccessDefinition />

Guests are never permitted to subscribe others.

Configure who can subscribe others to channels in general

<AdminOnly /> <FlattenedSteps> <NavigationSteps target="settings/organization-permissions" />
  1. Under Channel permissions, configure Who can subscribe others to channels.
<SaveChanges /> </FlattenedSteps>

Configure who can subscribe anyone to a specific channel

If you have permission to administer a public channel, you can configure who can subscribe anyone to it. For private channels, you additionally need to have content access in order to change this configuration.

<FlattenedSteps> <NavigationSteps target="relative/channel/all" />
  1. Select a channel.
