Feature Request: inheritable roles for channels

[samandiriel]

When I assign a role and give a channel permissions, I also have to do so explicitly for any subchannels. And if any new channels are added, I have to go back and add those explicitly to the role as well.

It would be great if there was an option available for the role to be assigned to any sub-channels by default, including any new ones that are added after the role is defined.

Good call, this was an obvious gap. Shipped in v3.16.13: when you create a sub-channel under a parent that has roles attached, the new sub-channel automatically inherits the parent's role access and immediately grants membership to the right people. You can still tweak access per sub-channel afterwards if you need a tighter scope, and it only runs at creation time so any existing sub-channels with custom access stay as you set them up. If you'd also want a button to retroactively sync an existing sub-channel back to its parent's roles, open a follow-up and I'll take a look.
