Steam - "Restrict Companywide channel creation" disabling capability to create any Stream channel
Restricting users to create company-wide (tenant-wide) channels is also restricting users to create or search any Stream channel.
By default, users are allowed to create Companywide channels and Group channels. However, once users are restricted to create Companywide channels, they also cannot create group channels. Users also don't see Channel option under Create menu.
So .. no channel option .. At least user should be able to create and search group channels after restricting users to create companywide channels.
This is possibly a bug.
Cheers,

Users who can't create company wide channels can still navigate to the group they want to create the channel in, and click the "Create channel" button on the group page, which will make a channel in that specific group.
The issue you listed is a new bug, which just got fixed a few days back. It will take a few weeks to make it to production but we are putting it back to how it was before that you can see the "Create channel" from the top menu item, but users will only be able to make Group channels.

Thanks Marc. Logically, it shouldn't remove the "create channel" option from the menu. Yes, user can still create channels via Groups page but it might need so direction to users.

Yes, I agree. We also do want it in the Create menu. It was there originally but a few months back we introduced a bug that took it away. We did a fix to put it back in the create menu a week ago. It should be rolling out to your tenants in production in a few weeks.
