# Manage Channel Program Members with Sharing Groups

Use sharing groups to manage Channel Program members. When new partner users join a team, you can add them to a Channel Program Member group. You can also move partner users to another group when they are promoted, demoted, or transitioned to a different area of expertise.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Performance</strong>, <strong>Unlimited</strong>, and <strong>Developer</strong> Editions</td></tr></tbody></table>

You can also use Channel Program Member sharing groups to manage access to resources within levels, such as public queues, list views, sharing rules, and folders.

Note Deleting a partner account that was added as a channel program member, deletes the associated channel program member. Undeleting the partner account brings back the account and the channel program member, but the account is no longer enabled as a partner account.

Tip Org-wide defaults and field-level security control data access for partner users in channel groups. Set organization-wide default to **Private** on Channel Program Level and Channel Program Member objects. Grant each partner user access to their level and member records to ensure that they have visibility into their accounts and opportunities.
