The three roles
Role | Can do |
|---|---|
Owner | Everything: send, edit channel name/description, change visibility, promote/demote members, transfer ownership, archive. |
Admin | Send, manage members, change channel settings, archive. Cannot promote/demote members or transfer ownership. |
Member | Send, react, pin, react. Cannot manage the channel itself. |
Note — Realm admins can do everything in every channel as a break-glass — they always appear with effective owner permissions even if not explicitly listed as the owner.
Promoting and demoting
Open the channel's members list (channel header → member count).
Click a member → ⋯ → Make owner / Make admin / Demote / Remove.
Only the current owner (or a realm admin) can change roles. Channel admins can manage members but not promote them above their own role.
Sole-owner handoff
If you're the only owner of a channel and want to leave, Carerealm runs an atomic handoff: pick the new owner from the dialog, the system promotes them before removing you. A channel can't exist without an owner.
