Conclusion

Group and channel creators possess a unique set of permissions that enable them to effectively manage and adjust their group or channel settings. Understanding these special permissions is crucial for optimising the usage of your group or channel.

Special Permissions of Group/Channel Creators

1. Modify Group/Channel Type: Creators can configure their group or channel to be private or public, to suit various usage requirements.
2. Modify Username of Public Group/Channel: Creators have the authority to change the username of public groups or channels, to enhance discoverability and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).
3. Manage New Member Approval: Creators can choose to enable or disable the 'Approve New Members' feature, thereby controlling who can join the group.
4. Restrict Content Saving and Forwarding: Creators can choose to enable or disable the 'Prohibit Saving and Forwarding' feature, which helps protect the privacy of group content.
5. Enable Topic Feature: Creators can choose to enable or disable the 'Topics' feature, to better organise discussion content.
6. Leave Group but Retain Admin Privileges: Even if a creator chooses to leave the group, they can still retain their administrative privileges and continue to manage it.

By thoroughly understanding these unique privileges, group and channel creators can more effectively manage their communities and enhance the overall user experience.
