## Channel Management Page

Once the Channel Management page is opened, the following options are available:

* **Edit Channel Privacy**
  * Channels may be either Private or Public
* **Edit Channel Subject & Description**
  * These fields are optional and used to provide more information to Channel members regarding the channel
* **Manage Channel Members**
  * Used to add/remove members from the Channel as appropriate

## Channel Roles <a href="#channel-roles" id="channel-roles"></a>

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 rights 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 a **Channel Moderator** within the current Channel)
* *Channel Member* - any member of a public Channel or a user who was invited in a private 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 Actions 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**.​

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.‌
