Changing user permissions in your organization
You may need to change user permissions from time to time in your organization. Some examples include giving a team member access to a channel you’ve recently connected, removing a user’s access to specific channels, or adding Admin access for a user.
This guide will help you edit all of your user permissions, but if you're starting from scratch, visit our article: Adding users and setting up permissions in your organization.
⭐️ This feature is on our Team plan.
Note: Team member settings are only available on the web version of Buffer at this time. It is not possible to update Team settings in the Buffer mobile app.
