    Several options were considered for this feature, including:

    - Separate permissions for archiving, renaming, modifying and creating channels
    - Adding a new role for managing channels
    - Offering individual permissions for manipulating channels

    Applying the fast, obvious, forgiving design principle we arrived at the least complex solution of the options, which was to combine restrictions for creating, renaming and updating channel information, in addition to restricting archiving.

    The goal was to keep things simple, so that users either “can do everything” or “can do nothing” and aren’t confused about their permissions.

    This feature has been added as an optional IT policy in Mattermost E10.

    This was also considered for Team Edition, but it didn’t seem appropriate for a “virtual office” where everyone knew each other well. It would be like having locks on the conference room doors to keep people from erasing things off the whiteboards.

  3. Add support for S3 server-side-encryption

    AWS S3 supports server-side-encryption it would be good if this could be either enabled by default, or configured.

    It looks like this should be a fairly small change - the goamz library already has an "SSE" bool flag in the S3 options structure which enables server-side-encryption.

    I don't have any experience with go, but I'd be happy to attempt to add this feature myself.

  5. Make notification about new message persistent

    Notification about new message stays active only for few seconds and then disappears. Thus it's hard to keep track of new messages.
    Is it possible to make them persistent (not dissappears until clicked or any other activity) or increase time they stays active?

    Al the members of our team suffering from this issue. It would be perfect feature to implement.

    The same issue was described on github: https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/issues/91
    and earlier here: https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/9182981-add-notification-persistence-preference-to-configu

  6. Windows distribution via Chocolatey

    Moving from GitHub issues so this feature idea can be discussed and upvoted: https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/issues/124

    Chocolatey is a distribution tool for Windows applications, including many free software applications (for example, https://chocolatey.org/packages/pidgin). It allows an end-user to get application updates somewhat like using apt or yum on GNU/Linux.

  7. Keep only one running instance of the desktop

    A workflow for me with other apps is to use the Start/Search to find the app in question and then open it there. If the app ran already, I'd open that app (f.ex. with Outlook or Skype for Business).

    With the MM app for Windows, I get a new instance of the running app.

    Could you open the existing instance if there is one?

  8. Remind me Later

    Slack offers a very cool possibility: you can ask the bot to remind you of a message after some time.

    This is extremely useful when you post a message which requires some reaction by some other users - if (unfortunately) no reaction comes, it is very easy to forget about the question, which will not happen if you set a reminder!

    That would be a very nice feature to add to mattermost

  9. Editing other user’s messages through API

    Letting bots edit people's messages through the REST API. As such, bots could replace keywords with links and such, instead of posting new messages and spamming the channel. For instance, with a Github integration, a user typing in "#200" would replace the keyword to a link to issue #200.

  10. Typing a mention should also suggest based on full name

    Currently (3.1.0) when mentioning a user by typing @ the suggestion list is adapted based on the username. This should be extended to match based on the full name as well.

  11. Mute specific channels in app / more granular control of notifications

    I have some channels that I just don't care about if I'm away from my desk and on my mobile (e.g. a channel that Hubot posts RSS feeds into). Ideally I'd like the ability to see all my channels and have granular control over notifications, so I could select something like:
    "System Alerts" channel: notify desktop and mobile
    "RSS" notify desktop only
    "Off-Topic" no notifications

  12. Add keyboard shortcut for quick reply to last message

    For me it is kind of annoying, that I have to use the mouse if I want to reply a message. I'd really love the feature of having a shortcut (something like Shift+up, because up is edit last message), which lets me automatically reply to the last message in the conversation. Do you think this would be feasible?

  13. Add svg attachment rendering

    When attaching a jpeg or png image, an image preview is rendered. An identical behavior with svg would be quite useful. Additionally since svg is supported by all the modern browsers, I imagine the implementation would be relatively straightforward unlike with some other attachment formats.

  14. Windows Mattermost Client: Make us of the Window Caption

    Do the same as the pure Mattermost website, which is changing the HTML <title>. Just copy the web page <title> into the Main Window Caption. As a Manic Time User, this would allow me to summarize the time spend at the different channels, groups and messages.

  15. make maximum number of channels per team configurable

    Currently, the maximum number of channels per team is hardcoded to 1000.

    It'd be nice if this were configurable, much like MaxUsersPerTeam is.

  17. Better notifications between teams

    When I receive a message from another team I can't see from which team it was sent. Maybe introduce a better notification system for persons who are in multiple teams on the same server.

  18. Display most recent conversations on top

    On the sidebar, it would be useful if the most recent conversations were displayed on top. As for now I have to delete channels so I dont have to scroll all day long.

  19. only show the number of mentions in the red circle over the channel menu button

    the red circle with a number in it gives the impression that i have missed important chats. it would be more useful in my opinion if the number represented the number of unread mentions and personal messages instead.
