Thanks for your suggestion. Answer to your questions are No…
But, (and no offense here), does it have to be that complicated? What I mean here is why isn’t there an export menu item directly from the channel? Since I have the ability to create a channel, delete it, archive it, wouldn’t make sense for an end user to also have the ability to export it? It doesn’t necessarily have to be in pdf. Xml, csv, etc would be 100 times better than having to copy and paste or take screenshots.
Note: The team taking care of our mattermost server don’t have time to “fiddle” with giving access, etc (they have other services to support too).
