Adding Guests into Channels
Hi all, After some advice here as we are new to MST free version. When adding an individual as a guest to a channel MST is giving guests access to all channels within that team. Are we doing...
- Hmm whilst I see the point, I personally think Teams sprawl is worse - and the amount of swapping context, hiding, pinning notifications become more difficult to manage. It's like entropy
I am running a team with a dozen private channels with guests and it's working perfectly. People only have access to what they are added to and can't see the other channels.
So whilst I would disagree on a personal level, obviously it's good to have a choice where you can measure up the pro's and con's of both approaches
Best, Chris
Hi G-MAN-UK
This is the default behaviour. If you give someone guest access to a team, then they will have access to all standard channels. Guests cannot see Private channels unless you add them

So I would advise utilising private channels in Teams. Note there is a limit of 30 private per Team and you can't convert public to private so would need to recreate
Hope that answers your question
