You can restrict who can start new topics in a channel. For example, you can set up:

  • A channel where only some users can post new announcements, but everyone can discuss them.
  • A channel with just a handful of topics everyone is expected to use.
  • A channel for mirroring another messaging app, where each topic corresponds to a channel in the other app.
<ZulipTip> You can also [configure who can send messages](/help/channel-posting-policy) to a channel. </ZulipTip> <FlattenedSteps> <NavigationSteps target="relative/channel/all" />
