Membership - Membership of the selected teams and private channels will be replicated at the destination, including owners, members, and guests.
Note: If the Membership option is not selected, any custom permissions on the source team will not be copied to the destination. Those elements will inherit their permissions from the parent at the destination.

This option only applies when copying a private channel into a private team. The option is offered since members of the private channel may not be members of the private team. For the private channel copy you can:
Never add private channel members - You can add your members manually after your migration.
Always add private channel members - Your members will be added automatically and have access to the whole private team.
Note: Your choice applies to the current copy and future copies.
