Adding an Owner to a Specific Channel:

You can also add an owner to a specific channel within your team.

Understanding Owner Permissions:

• Owners have the highest level of permissions within a team or channel. They can manage members, edit settings, and delete content.
• Members have limited permissions. They can participate in conversations, share files, and access team resources.
• Guests have the least permissions. They can only view and participate in conversations, but they cannot edit or delete content.

By adding someone as an owner, you are granting them full administrative privileges over the team or channel.
