# Restrict channel creation
{!admin-only.md!}
Zulip allows you to separately control [permissions](/help/roles-and-permissions)
for creating [web-public](/help/public-access-option), public and private
channels.
For corporations and other organizations with controlled access, we
recommend keeping channel creation open to make it easy for users to
self-organize.
Only users in trusted roles (moderators and administrators) can be
given permission to create web-public channels. This is intended
[to help manage abuse](/help/public-access-option#managing-abuse) by
making it hard for an attacker to host malicious content in an
unadvertised web-public channel in a legitimate organization.
### Manage who can create channels
