Restrict stream creation

This feature is only available to organization owners and administrators.

Zulip allows you to separately control permissions for creating public and private streams. For corporations and other entities with controlled access, we highly recommend keeping stream creation open. Open organizations may choose to be less permissive, especially with public streams.

Manage who can create streams

  • Public streams
  • Private streams

  1. Go to Organization permissions.

  2. Under Stream permissions, configure Who can create public streams.

  3. Click Save changes.
