Restricting Access to Specific Channels or Folders - Updates?

Question

Hi everyone,&nbsp;&nbsp;Any updates on being able to restrict access to specific channels within a team? Alternatively, is there a way to restrict access to a specific folder at least?&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks! :)&nbsp;&nbsp;Alan

You can set explicit permissions from SharePoint on specific folders which Teams will honor!Private channels which you are referring to are on the roadmap this year! No more specificsAdam

One of two things. Those individuals are owners in the Team. Which means they are site collection admins and have access to everything on the site regardless of permissions. 2. You didn’t stop inheriting the permissions and or remove the default groups from the library you created before adding new users to it?

I would not touch permissions for Teams Folders in the document library....it's preferable to wait until we have private channels (if we finally have them)

To clarify a little on that folder statement. You can set permissions on a folder however, any owner in the Team can bypass any custom permission as they are Site collection admins on the SharePoint site, so they trump all permissions. Just keep that in mind.
