# Channel Members
Channel members are the participants who have been granted access to a specific channel within the network. Channel members can be added from the Channel Members page, or while creating a Channel.
A channel member can also be removed from the Channel by the Channel Admin which will revoke all access to the channel. Please note just because an Organization is part of the Network doesn't mean that Organization is part of all the channels. One can only get access to a channel when permission is set explicitly.
{% hint style="info" %}
An organization with the ONLY active orderer cannot be removed from the channel as there should be at least one Orderer present in the channel.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.spydra.app/how-to/private-network/channels/channel-members.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
