 Three kinds of standing instruction can apply in a channel, written by different people:

 Channel members can shape how Claude responds in their channel through memory, but they can't change which credentials or repositories it has; that's bundle configuration. See [who controls what](/docs/claude-tag/admins/customize) for the full split.

 Work that would exceed a limit is declined rather than silently truncated. A user blocked by a limit can request more usage from their admin in Slack, and the admin notification names whether the usage balance or the limit caused the block.
 
+## Delegate channel setup to channel managers
+
+A channel manager is a member of your Claude organization who can set up Claude in specific channels without the Owner role. Channel managers are available on the Enterprise plan, and you must be an Owner to add or remove them.
+
+You name channel managers one channel at a time. For that channel, a channel manager adds repositories and credentials, sets the default model, and edits channel instructions. Every other setting at [`claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag`](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag) stays with Owners and Admins.
+
+### What a channel manager can do on the Configure page
+
+A channel manager has to be a member of the channel in Slack. In a channel you assigned to them, they see a **Channel manager settings** section on the channel's [Configure page](/docs/claude-tag/users/good-habits#configure-claude-for-a-channel), reached from the **Configure** link in any Claude reply. Other members see the same values read-only.
+
+| Setting            | What a channel manager can do                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
+| :----------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Default model**  | Choose the model new threads in the channel start on, from the models your organization allows. **Inherit** keeps the workspace or organization default                                                                                                         |
+| **Repositories**   | Add repositories beyond the ones your bundles already grant the channel. They can add only repositories their own GitHub account can write to                                                                                                                   |
+| **Access bundles** | Add, rotate, test, and remove credentials in the bundle Claude created for the channel and in any bundle they created for it. If the channel has no bundle yet, they can create one. They can't edit a bundle you created or a bundle that other channels share |
+
+When a channel manager adds a credential, Claude also allows the host that credential uses. Channel managers can't change the bundle's domains or rules in any other way. Credentials that use Claude's own identity (mutual TLS, AWS or GCP service identity, and IAP) stay Owner-only: a channel manager can't add, change, or rotate one, but can delete one from the channel's bundle, including one an Owner added. If that happens, Claude loses access to that service until an Owner adds the credential back.
+
+If you detach the channel's own bundle from the channel, its channel managers can't save settings for the channel; they see an error saying the channel's configuration was suspended by an administrator. They don't get a new bundle. Attach the bundle again to restore their access.
+
+A channel manager can edit channel instructions even when the scope's [Channel member edits](/docs/claude-tag/admins/attach-to-scope#restrict-who-can-set-channel-instructions) setting is **Block**.
+
+Channel managers see their assigned channels at [`claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag`](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag); organization and workspace settings are read-only for them. Tell them when you add them.
+
+### Add a channel manager
+
+Channel managers are built on [custom roles](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/roles). When you add the first manager to a channel, you create a custom role for it, named **Channel managers** plus the channel's name and ID, with the **Claude Tag channel setup** permission. A custom role works only for members on the **Custom roles** access level, so the last step below checks each manager's level.
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Open the channel's panel">
+    At [`claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag`](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag), select the channel's row on the **Slack** tab under **Claude Tag's access**. The channel must be a public or private channel. If it isn't listed, [add Claude to the channel](/docs/claude-tag/users/getting-started#add-claude-to-a-channel) in Slack first.
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Add people or a group">
+    In the **Channel managers** section, select **Add channel managers who can add connections and repos to this channel**. Select **Add users** to add people, which also creates a group named after the channel, or **Add groups** to add a group from [`claude.ai/admin-settings/groups`](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/groups). The same group can manage several channels.
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Check each manager's access level">
+    When you add a member on the User or Claude Code user level, you move them to the **Custom roles** level in the same step; if they already hold other custom roles, you confirm the move first. For a member on any other level, you see **Not in effect** until you change their level on the Members page. Adding a group changes nobody's level; group members who aren't on the **Custom roles** level show **Not in effect** too.
+
+    If your identity provider manages access levels, you can't change a level on the Members page, and the move doesn't happen. Put the channel managers in an identity provider group and map that group to the **Custom roles** level instead. If you turn on identity provider management after adding channel managers, the next sync sets every member's level from your group mappings, so managers you moved by hand show **Not in effect** until a mapped group covers them. The role and its group are kept; you don't need to add the managers again.
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+Owners and Admins can already configure every channel, so you see them as **Already has full access** and can't add them.
+
+Leave the role as it was created: assigned to its channel, with **Claude Tag channel setup** as its only permission. If the role's permissions are changed on the Roles page, the channel's **Channel managers** section stops recognizing the role, shows no managers, and refuses to add or remove any, with an error that points you to the Roles page. To recover, set the role's permissions back to exactly **Claude Tag channel setup**; the group and its members are kept. To give channel managers any other permission, create a separate role for it.
+
+### Remove a channel manager
+
+To remove a channel manager, open the same **Channel managers** section on the channel's panel. Remove a member you added directly, or detach a group you added. The member keeps their access level and any other custom roles. In the channel, they go back to seeing the Configure page's values read-only, like any other member.
+
+### Verify a channel manager's access
+
+The **Channel managers** section on the channel's panel shows each manager's status. A member whose access level doesn't support the role appears as **Not in effect**; the role works only on the **Custom roles** access level, so change the member's level on the Members page to put it into effect. An active manager sees the **Channel manager settings** section on the channel's [Configure page](/docs/claude-tag/users/good-habits#configure-claude-for-a-channel), so asking them to open that page confirms the setup.
+
+### Audit channel manager activity
+
+Channel manager activity is recorded in your organization's audit log, which you read through the [Compliance API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/compliance). The log records:
+
+* **Role channel assignments.** When a channel is assigned to a channel manager role or removed from it, with the role and the number of channels before and after.
+* **Credential changes.** Each credential a channel manager creates, updates, rotates, or deletes, with the Slack workspace and channel it was for and the roles that granted the permission, so you can tell a channel manager's change from an Owner's. Secrets are never included.
+* **Configure page changes.** Which settings a channel manager saved from the Configure page, such as the default model, repositories, or channel instructions. The log records which fields changed, not the values entered.
+
+The [Audit page](/docs/claude-tag/admins/audit) at [`claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag/audit`](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag/audit) doesn't list these events; it covers scheduled work, memory, and network events.

 ## Agent Proxy
 
 The network layer that injects credentials into Claude's outbound requests. The model and the sandbox are not given the key; Agent Proxy adds the credential at the network boundary when a request matches the rules an admin set. See [How agent identity works](/docs/claude-tag/concepts/agent-identity#agent-proxy).
+
+## Channel manager
+
+A member of your Claude organization whom an Owner has named to set up specific channels. For each channel assigned to them, a channel manager sets the default model, adds repositories their own GitHub account can write to, and manages credentials in the channel's own bundle, without holding the Owner role. See [Delegate channel setup to channel managers](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#delegate-channel-setup-to-channel-managers).

 Channel memory and routines aren't in the table because you change them by talking to Claude in the channel; see [what anyone can change from the channel](/docs/claude-tag/admins/customize#change-behavior-from-the-channel). Admins can review both, as each scope's memory files and scheduled work, from [the Audit page](/docs/claude-tag/admins/audit).
 
from line 39
 Anyone in the channel who is also a member of your Claude organization can edit the **Channel instructions** field on that page, unless an admin has [restricted editing to admins](/docs/claude-tag/admins/attach-to-scope#restrict-who-can-set-channel-instructions). The page's **Respond automatically** toggle controls whether Claude replies in the channel without an @-mention; see [Turn automatic replies on or off](/docs/claude-tag/users/when-claude-responds#turn-automatic-replies-on-or-off). The page's **Connections** tab shows the channel's resolved connections, which admins set, so members can see the list but not change it. A **Routines** tab lists the channel's routines with each one's schedule, status, and last run.
 
 The Configure page and the **Custom instructions** field on the scope's panel in admin settings write the same instructions, so a change from either place is visible in the other. See [Configure Claude for a channel](/docs/claude-tag/users/good-habits#configure-claude-for-a-channel).
+
+On the Enterprise plan, an Owner can name [channel managers](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#delegate-channel-setup-to-channel-managers) for a channel. For them, the same page adds a **Channel manager settings** section where they set the channel's default model, repositories, and connections.

 Use the **Channel instructions** field on that page to write standing guidance Claude reads in every new session in the channel: the channel's purpose, its conventions, the tone replies should take, and anything Claude should do or avoid there. Channel instructions outrank channel memory and sit alongside any instructions an admin has set for the workspace or organization. Save the field and the change applies to new sessions started in the channel.
 
-The page also shows **Connections**, the services Claude can reach from this channel. Your organization's admins set that list, so you can see it on this page but not change it.

 Members can also tailor how Claude works in the channel from its Configure page on claude.ai. The **Configure** link in the footer of any Claude reply opens it, and if a member sends [`@Claude !configure`](/docs/claude-tag/users/commands#get-the-link-to-configure-a-channel) in the channel, Claude replies with a link to it. Anyone in the channel who is also a member of your Claude organization can edit settings for that channel there, unless an admin has [restricted editing to admins](/docs/claude-tag/admins/attach-to-scope#restrict-who-can-set-channel-instructions). The **Channel instructions** field on that page holds standing guidance that outranks memory. See [configure Claude for a channel](/docs/claude-tag/users/good-habits#configure-claude-for-a-channel).
 
 The Configure page also shows the channel's resolved access, read-only. Its **Connections** tab lists the channel's resolved connections, which admins set in admin settings. Its **Routines** tab lists the channel's [routines](/docs/claude-tag/users/proactivity) with each one's schedule, status, and last run.
+
+On the Enterprise plan, an Owner can name [channel managers](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#delegate-channel-setup-to-channel-managers) for a channel. They set the channel's default model, repositories, and connections from the same page.
