Channels
- You can disable the entire channels module or just a specific channel level based on your need.
- When a channel level is disabled, it will be removed from your Cliq organization, i.e. the disabled level will not show up in Create Channels dialog.
- If channels under a level already exist and you choose to disable that level, then the existing channels will disappear from Cliq for all your users letting them know of the recent admin configuration using a pop-up.

Chats
- You can choose to disable direct messages within a specific department, between different departments, and with external users.
- You can also configure the time limit available for a user to reply to a particular message. Say, for example, direct messages are restricted for users who fall under a specific role. Users who fall under the role with restricted direct message permissions will be able to reply to messages that are sent to them, within the specified time limit.
- On disabling direct messages under Chats, all existing 1-1 and group conversations will be removed from your Cliq organization.
- They will be removed from the @mentions tab, chat history, starred messages tab, and will also not appear in search results.
- Your organization members will not be able to start new 1-1 chats and group chats from anywhere in Cliq.

- If a user is currently using a feature and you disable it, then they will be notified of the new configuration update through a pop-up dialog box after which the feature will not be accessible.
Example: If you disable audio calls, then the audio call icon will not be visible anywhere in Cliq for all your organization users.
