Access control is intentionally missing from the open source "team" version:

> Team Edition is "virtual office" where a team works together as trusted colleagues. It means people can walk anywhere they want, and move the furniture if they choose.

> I need to ask this ticket be closed since it's not a bug

> You're of course more than welcome to fork as well.

But would Mattermost accept a PR that cuts into the differentiation on "advanced access control" of their enterprise product? https://mattermost.com/pricing/

Open source is only as powerful as the community's willingness to maintain a fork.
