Note: This function is only available for the super administrators of Lark Business and Enterprise Versions.
Intro
- •Company administrators can set whether employees can start chats with other employees through the Lark client.
- •Currently, admins can set the following chat permissions:
- ◦Whether A can start a chat, start an audio or video call or call phone with B.
- ◦Whether A can invite B to a group chat.
- ◦Whether A can send a Buzz to B.
- ◦Whether the Lark app displays Docs Assistant notifications for B when A comments or uses the @ function on B's document.
Note:
- 1.Currently, Chat permission settings on the Admin console are one-way rules. This means if a rule specifies that A cannot start a chat with B, then only A cannot start a chat with B, but B can start a chat with A; once a chat has been created for A and B, then their communications will no longer be restricted by the rules created in Chat permission settings.
- 2.Similarly, if A and B already have a chat window created prior to the rule's establishment, then A and B's communications won't be restricted by the rules as well.
II. Steps
Go to the Lark Admin console and click Security > User Permissions > Chat Permissions to go to the chat permissions settings page.
