Hi!

Welcome to our forums :slight_smile:

You can create a new role, let’s say “midmanager” and apply to that role the permissions you want.

Then you add this “midmanager” role to the users you want to provide the related access.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

@dudanogueira Hi!

I’m experiencing similar issues. I’m running version 4.5.4 (docker). I crated a new role called “student” and copied exactly the same permissions from “user” to “student”. I then assigned this role to a new user, but this new user is unable to create channels, direct messages, teams etc. Actually, they can’t even see the “Create new” button. Am I missing something?

so your user’s had the both the user role and the student role?

everyone should be a user. unwanted default permissions should be removed from user, and added to specific roles, that will be assigned only to the ones that is supposed to be in that roles.
