At Mattermost, we set out to build a platform that supports the world’s largest enterprises. To do that, Mattermost needs to be able to accommodate tens of thousands of simultaneous users, all of whom are using the platform in various ways at the same time.

Mattermost 5.0 has new features designed to improve productivity while enhancing security: Intercept and modify posts – customize Mattermost by creating plugins to automatically restrict, modify, censor and link posts, Advanced permissions – ensure everyone has the proper level of access with new system and team permissions schemes
