Note: Channel permissions don’t support some parts of Studio just yet. Even though the owner can access these features, invited users can’t access:
- Features that aren’t built into Studio, like Community post creation.
- Parts of Studio Mobile, like commenting and playlist editing.
- YouTube.com, YouTube Music, YouTube Kids app or YouTube APIs.
We plan on supporting these in the future.
