Summary:Methods, media, and systems for a changing a private channel in a channel-based communication system from an "invited-members" mode to a "whitelisted groups" mode. When in a whitelisted-groups mode, the channel administrator can whitelist one or more groups for channel membership. The whitelisted groups may be external groups managed by an identity provider. Based on the whitelisted groups, users cannot be added to the private channel without being a member of one of the whitelisted groups. Users are also automatically removed from the channel if they are no longer in one of the whitelisted groups for any reason.
