    Article summary

    Is it possible for my workspace administrator to access or view any data or messages in a channel even if they are not a member of that particular channel?

    No, messages in a channel or chat can only be seen by users who are members of that channel. However, if a workspace has auditor roles, they have the ability to view all messages in the audit panel. If Message Auditor is enabled, any auditor who audits messages will generate Audit Logs that can be reviewed by other auditors. If you use end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) or off-the-record messaging, even auditors do not have the ability to view those messages.

    Are messages stored in Rocket.Chat logs files?

    No. Only metadata of messages is stored in log files.
