This article introduces the specific steps of setting up employee session permissions in Feishu management background. By reading this article, you will quickly master the operating methods for managing conversational permissions between employees, making management more convenient and efficient.

Note: This feature is still in beta testing, if you'd like to try it, please contact our customer service or sales staff.

Function overview

The administrator can set whether employees can initiate conversations with other employees on the Feishu client. Including the following situations

•Whether A can initiate a private chat with B (including starting a chat ,making a telephone call and initiating audio or video calls)

•Whether A can add B to a chat group

•Whether A can send B buzz messages

•Whether the Feishu client displays message notifications from Docs Assistant when A comments on B’s documents or uses the @ function

Note: Chat permission settings on the Admin Backend are one-way.

For example, if you set that A cannot initiate a chat with B, however, B initiates a chat with A, their conversation is no longer restricted by the rule.
