# Manage channel posting permissions

**Who can use this feature?**

- All **members** (default)
- Available on [**all plans**](https://slack.com/pricing)

You can adjust who's allowed to post to channels or use mentions that [notify all channel members](https://slack.com/help/articles/202009646-Notify-a-channel-or-workspace). This helps keep large channels, like those used for announcements, on topic and free from distraction.

**Note:** Owners can restrict [who can set posting permissions](https://slack.com/help/articles/4409225141907-Manage-who-can-set-channel-posting-permissions). If you don’t see this option, [find an owner](https://slack.com/help/articles/360003534892-Browse-people-and-user-groups-in-Slack) and ask for help.
