Restrict stream creation

{!admin-only.md!}

By default, anyone other than guests can create new streams. However, you can restrict stream creation to:

• Organization administrators
• Organization administrators and all members
• Organization administrators and full members

For corporations and other entities with controlled access, we highly recommend keeping stream creation open. A typical Zulip organization with heavy use has as many streams as users.

Manage who can create streams

{start_tabs}

{settings_tab|organization-permissions}

2. Under Other permissions, configure Who can create streams.

{!save-changes.md!}

{end_tabs}
