Restrict message editing and deletion
{!admin-only.md!}
Zulip lets you separately configure permissions for editing and deleting messages, and you can set time limits for both actions. Regardless of the configuration you select:
- Message content can only ever be modified by the original author.
- Any message can be deleted at any time by an organization administrator.
Note that if a user can edit a message, they can also "delete" it by removing all the message content. This is different from proper message deletion in two ways: the original content will still show up in message edit history, and will be included in data exports. Deletion permanently (and irretrievably) removes the message from Zulip.
