Description
Currently it seems to be impossible to create a private channel which is accessible only to users with a specific role. Or rather, a channel which would be accessible only to users who would have a role which would be on the allowed list of roles for said channel. This would be a very pleasant feature to have considering the purpose I intend to use Rocket.Chat for.
Of course I'm just going to create a bot which will manage this, for now. Though I think a minor addition like this could greatly increase your audience.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing private-channel access and role-permission entry points, then define how an allowed list of roles should affect channel access; done means users with an allowed role can access the private channel and others cannot.
