Configure who can add bots

Zulip lets you create three types of bots:

  • Incoming webhook bots, which are limited to only sending messages into Zulip.
  • Generic bots, which act like a normal user account.
  • Outgoing webhook bots, which are generic bots that also receive new messages via HTTPS POST requests.

You can configure who can create incoming webhook bots (which are more limited in what they can do), and who can create any bot. Both permissions can be assigned to any combination of roles, groups, and individual users.
