Mattermost-server: [Help Wanted] Unarchive channel

[it33]

People need to be able to unarchive channels and private groups

Create a new pane: Team Settings > Administration and add the following:

Title:

• Archived Channels

Control:

• [Selectable scrolling list of archived channels and private groups shorted alphabetically by Channel Name, 3 entries high in format [ICON] CHANNEL_UI_NAME (CHANNEL_HANDLE_NAME)]
• [Button: Unarchive]

Help text:

• Click "Unarchive" to restore any archived private group to which you have access or any public channel.

Note:

• Any user can access this interface. There's no special privileges for System Admin or Team Admin (e.g. to see private groups to which they are not a member).
• If we do this ticket, there needs to a corresponding control under SYSTEM CONSOLE > POLICY to restrict who can use this interface.

(5.1.0) For people finding this on Google, for time being you can mattermost channel restore via CLI.

Or, in MySQL..
update Channels set DeleteAt = 0 where Name='<channel url>';
