Creating restricted channels within a team for confidential discussions or projects
Hi @Boyer, Jean Paul [EMR/FCTL/PRM/LEIC],
Thank you for providing such detailed information, it really helps clarify the situation.
Based on what you’ve described, this behavior is not expected. Microsoft documentation indicates that Pages and Loop components are supported in private channels, and users with access should be able to edit and collaborate on them.
Private channels use a separate SharePoint site, where membership is automatically synced from Teams and cannot be managed independently. Because of this, any issue with provisioning or synchronization between Teams and SharePoint can impact access and editing capabilities.
Given that editing works in standard channels but not in this private channel, the issue is most likely related to one of the following:
- A membership or synchronization issue between the private channel and its SharePoint site
- A provisioning issue with the private channel site
- A tenant-level setting or policy configuration affecting Loop components
For reference:
Here are the recommended next steps you can follow:
Loop functionality in Teams depends on tenant-level configuration. You may want to ask your IT administrator to verify that the required setting Set-SPOTenant -IsCollabMeetingNotesFluidEnabled $true is enabled in your environment. If this setting is disabled or not fully applied, Loop components may appear as read-only even when permissions seem to be correctly configured.

If the issue continues, I recommend asking your IT admin to open a support ticket through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center by following the steps here: Get support - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn .
This will allow Microsoft support engineers to investigate more deeply by:
- Checking the private channel SharePoint site provisioning and sync status
- Verifying backend permissions and membership mapping
- Reviewing tenant-level settings (including Loop/Fluid configuration)
- Identifying any service-side issues.
If you’re unsure who your IT admin is, you can find guidance here: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support.
I hope this information helps you move forward. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to reach out. I’ll be glad to assist.
Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to continuing to support you.
