# Managing Channels

## Managing Channel Members

The Channel owner can invite or remove members in public or private Channels. This is the only way to add new members to private Channels. To do this, go to **Channel Manage page**.

## Channel Roles

There are 3 roles a user can have within a Channel:

* *Channel Owner* is a user who created the Channel
* *Channel Moderator* is a Channel member who was given to invite or remove members from the Channel (![Icon Channel Moderator](https://connect.accentservices.com/connect/docs/_images/icon-channel-moderator.png) indicates that the member is **Channel Moderator** within the current Channel)
* *Channel Member* - any member of a public Channel or a user who was invited in a private Channel

Only one **Channel Owner** per Channel may exist. A **Channel Owner** can nominate a Channel member as a **Channel Moderator**. There are no restrictions on the number of **Channel Moderators** per each Channel.

Nominating a member as a **Channel Moderator** by the **Channel Owner** is very simple. To do this, the **Channel Owner** needs to open the member properties and click on **Grant admin rights**. To remove the rights, the **Channel Owner** needs to open member the properties and click on **Remove admin rights**.
