Issue/Question
- There is a private channel in my team with no members. How do I modify or delete the private channel?
- There are no owners on a private team; I need to be added as an owner.
Environment
- Oregon State University
- MS Teams
Cause/Explanation
A team owner cannot modify a private channel within that team unless they are also an owner of the private team. If there are no owners for a team or private channel, an administrator needs to re-add an owner.
For this reason, we recommend that all teams and private channels have at least 2 owners.
Resolution
Contact the Service Desk for assistance. Service Desk will escalate the request to Infrastructure for resolution.
If a private channel within a team has no members, Infrastructure can re-add members or owners to the private channel.
If a private channel has any members still assigned to it, Infrastructure can make one of those members an owner.
If a private team has any members, Infrastructure can make one or more of the members into owners.
