Role-based access control system

A system for providing role-based access management to a channel within a group-based communication system, the system comprising:

• a data store;
• and
• a processor programmed to perform a method for providing role-based access management of a channel within a group-based communication system, the method comprising:
• receiving a request, from a user of the group-based communication system, to perform an action within the group-based communication system;
• determining a permission requirement associated with the action in the group-based communication system;
• determining a group-based communication system role associated with the user based on a group-based communication system identifier for the user;
• determining whether the group-based communication system role satisfies the permission requirement based on at least one permission associated with the group-based communication system role;
• in response to a determination that the group-based communication system role satisfies the permission requirement, performing the action within the group-based communication system;
• and
• in response to a determination that the group-based communication system role does not meet the permission requirement, denying the request to perform the action.
