## How do I make a private channel?
More complete support for account-based private channels is [planned](https://github.com/oragono/oragono/issues/69). In the meantime, here's a workaround:

1. Set it to be invite-only (`/mode #example +i`)
1. Grant persistent half-operator status to the desired account names (`/msg ChanServ amode #example +h alice`)
Anyone with persistent half-operator privileges or higher will be able to join without an invite.
