Restrict moving messages

{!admin-only.md!}

Zulip lets you configure which roles can edit message topics and move topics between channels. In general, allowing all organization members to edit message topics is highly recommended because:

  • It allows the community to keep conversations organized, even if some members are still learning how to use topics effectively.
  • It lets users resolve topics.
  • It makes it possible to fix a typo in the topic of a message you just sent.

You can let users edit topics without a time limit, or prohibit topic editing on older messages to avoid potential abuse. The time limit will never apply to administrators and moderators.

Permissions for moving messages between channels can be configured separately.
