# Why can’t I post in a channel?

If you are in a channel, and you don’t see a place for you to type a message, that means you are “read only” for that channel.

You will receive messages from members who are authorized to post in that channel, but will not be able to reply.

If you believe this is in error, please contact your organization’s Serenity Administrator.
