Channel governance is the SDK surface for changing who can participate in a chat channel and what they can do there. Use these pages when you are building moderator tools, channel settings, admin panels, or support workflows.

​
Capability Map

​
Platform Coverage

Governance operations are subject to channel type, membership state, and moderation permissions. If the server rejects an operation, treat that result as authoritative and show an actionable error in your product UI.

​
Implementation Shape

Write Operations

Use the governance pages for SDK calls that change membership, roles, bans, or mutes.

Read Operations

Use member query and search APIs to render member lists, moderator lists, muted members, and banned members.

Product Policy

Store reason codes, escalation rules, appeals, and audit records in your own backend if your product needs them.

Channel Types

Some governance operations are only meaningful on channel types that support the target moderation behavior.

Create Channels

Create channels before applying governance operations.

Query Members

Read membership, role, banned, and muted state.

Message Flagging

Moderate individual messages separately from channel membership.
