Ability to change private room to public and vice versa
Thank you for nominating the feature! It is now available in Mattermost v4.10 (being able to convert a public channel to private). Would anyone like to help re-tweet the announcement? https://twitter.com/mattermosthq/status/996798739242258432

But it is difficult the other way around. If someone posted something into a private room thinking it to be private and suddenly the room is made public....

Similar to Caleb, it's a real problem when a room is initially created as public, but as more users are brought into the system or sensitive data ends up in a room, limiting access to the room becomes a requirement. Right now this is impossible as far as I can tell in any supported manner.

Yes yes please. This is a straight up blocker for me at the moment. I adopted Mattermost for the board of directors of an organization and it's been great, but now we'd like to start bringing more people into the system but have a bunch of rooms we need to make private first. Figuring out how to secure old content is a huge pain right now and slowing us up from adapting to what we know would be a better workflow for the whole org.
