Add members to a channel
Using Mattermost in a web browser or the desktop app, any member of a channel can add other members to public or private channels, unless your System Admin has restricted access to do so.
Select the channel name at the top of the center pane to access the drop-down menu, then select Add Members.
Search for users, select users, then select Add to add users to the current channel. Mattermost notifies you when a user is already a member of the channel.
Tip
From Mattermost v7.8, people you’ve messaged directly are listed first, followed by all users in alphabetical order.
Alternatively, to add members to a channel, select the channel name, select the View Info
icon, select Members in the right pane, and then select Add.
Note
To add members to a channel when using the Mattermost mobile app, @mention them. If they’re not a channel member, you’re prompted to add them.
Leave a channel
To remove yourself from a channel, you can:
Select the channel name at the top of the center pane to access the drop-down menu, then select Manage Members. Select the member’s user role, then select Remove from Channel.
Select the channel’s View Info
icon, and select Members in the right pane. Select Manage, select a user’s role, then select Leave a Channel.
