# How Do I Give Users Permission to Edit Channels?

## Promote any user on your plan to be an editor on a Channel

### Understanding Channel Permissions:

There are 2 user/group permissions to consider when sharing a Channel:

1. **Can View**
2. **Can Edit**

**Important Note:** A user's Publisher or Consumer status does not extend across View and Edit Channel permissions.

Publishers will only be allowed to edit a Channel if they have 'Can Edit' permissions on that Channel.

### How to set a user's Channel permissions

1\. In the Channel, select the ![Shared Users Icon](https://helpcenter.getavail.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shared%20Users%20Icon.png?width=26&name=Shared%20Users%20Icon.png) **Shared Users** icon

2\. Locate the user or group (or [add them to the Channel](https://helpcenter.getavail.com/how-do-i-share-my-channel?hsLang=en) if needed) and adjust the dropdown to ***Can View*** or ***Can Edit***.

3\. Select **Save and Close** at the bottom. That's it!

**Please Advise:** Channels are only visible to a user if the Channel has been explicitly shared with them. Click [here](https://helpcenter.getavail.com/how-do-i-share-my-channel?hsLang=en) to learn how to share channels in AVAIL.
