List Chat Channels
Beschreibung
Lists chat channels the caller can see: public/private channels inside
their workspaces,
public channels, private channels the caller joined (admins also
see every private one), and the caller's DMs. Archived
channels are hidden unless include_archived: true.
Ordered public → private → direct, then alphabetically by name
within each group. Note: DMs appear here only if a DM was
already started with that partner — use chat_start_dm to
initiate a new one.
Admins and employers can create, edit, archive and restore shared
channels with chat_channel_save, subject to workspace/channel access.
Zugriff
Zugriffsprofil: basic. Module: chat.
Die Freigabe im Profil ersetzt keine Account-, Workspace- oder Rollenberechtigung.
