By default, Microsoft Teams grants many permissions to team members, such as the ability to delete a channel. This could lead to an accidental deletion of important channels, like your Matter channel. In this article, we will outline a recommended setting for team owners to restrict channel deletion permissions.
Who can use this: Workspace Owners and Admins on every plan. Microsoft Teams only.
For an overview of the whole feature, read the Matter setup and rollout guide for Slack and Microsoft Teams. Related articles: Transfer Matter to a new channel in Slack and Microsoft Teams and Adding and removing users to Matter in Microsoft Teams.
How to limit team members from deleting a channel:
Step 1: Click on the three dots next to the Team Name, then click on "Manage Team"
Step 2: In the newly opened window, click on "Settings" and then expand "Member permissions"
Step 3: Uncheck the box next to "Allow members to delete and restore channels"
