Verified entities associated with a communication platform

Verification of entities associated with a communication platform are described. An instruction to create a communication channel on a communication platform is received. The communication channel can be associated with an organization that is registered with the communication platform. Data associated with an entity (e.g., the organization and/or a user associated therewith) can be analyzed to determine whether to verify the entity. Based at least partly on a determination that the entity is verified, an indicator can be presented in association with the entity on a user interface associated with the communication platform and a first set of permissions can be associated with the entity. The first set of permissions can be different than a second set of permissions associated with unverified entities. Use of the communication channel and/or the communication platform by the entity can be controlled based at least partly on the first set of permissions.
