The question often return and it is not easy to explain the permission system of Teamspeak 3 simply with words.
It is very powerful but sometimes maybe a bit complicated.
I present here to you 2 solutions in several others, to restrict access to a channel.
In a second step, you have the opportunity to give some power to Channel Admin.
First of all:
You have to us the Advanced permission mode : Settings > Options > “Application” part > check Advanced permissions system
#1 - Restrict channel access by Join Permission :
1 - In the Guest server group remove these permissions :
- b_channel_join_permanent
- b_channel_join_semi_permanent
- b_channel_join_temporary
(i_channel_join_power if it’s necessary)
2 - Create a new Channel Group with these permissions :
- b_channel_join_permanent
- b_group_is_permanent
If you want allow access for some specific channels (public channel)
1 - Right click on channel
2 - Channel Permissions
3 - Add b_channel_join_permanent
Now, you have to switch each users on a desired channel and add them in the new Channel Group.
#2 - Restrict channel access by Join Power :
1 - In the Guest server group:
- Remove i_channel_join_power (if it’s needed)
2 - Create a new channel group with these permissions :
- i_channel_join_power (e.g. value = 10)
- b_group_is_permanent
3 - For each specific channels you have to add this permission :
- i_channel_needed_join_power (e.g. value = 10)
Please note : is there a sub channel currently you also have to add the needed power.
Now, you have to switch each users on a desired channel and add them in the new Channel Group.
How to give the permission to Channel Admin that moved his users :
Of course the Channel Admin (channel group must has the same join permissions)
For example, you can use the Normal (server group) for each Channel Admin
In this server group Add i_move_power (e.g. value = 25)
Attention, after that All Channel Admin users can move every one on the server. Just say to all Channel Admin “don’t cause problem or no channel!”
#3 - Make a half public server:
This case is specific. You have several channels without any restriction (like a public channel), and several other for some specific groups.
Of course it is out of the question set for each channel a join power permission.
But you can use the negativ join power for that
1 - Set the negativ permission
For the Guest (or default) server group and other server groups who should not access the reserved channels :
- i_channel_join_power = -1
2 - For the public channels
- Right click > Edit channel > Permissions tab > Join = -1
Now for the other channel and members group the join power is useless.
Of course you have a lot of possibilities to make a restriction. This tuto show you a simple configuration like a line of thought .
