Hello,  
I realized that everyone could ban the administrator from private or public channels. Is it possible to change this?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @gudbes,

Are you referring to System admin, Team admin, or Channel admin?

Hello @amy.blais and thank you for your answer…

I’m talking about the system administrator

My other users (private or public channel) can ban me while I am a system administrator. There may be a setting of I don’t see to block it.

Hi @gudbes,

I believe the only way to configure that is via Advanced Permissions (Enterprise feature): [https://docs.mattermost.com/deployment/advanced-permissions.html](https://docs.mattermost.com/deployment/advanced-permissions.html).

Other than this, I believe all channel members are able to remove other channel members from both public and private channels. However, System Admins have the ability to re-join all public and private channels.
