Description

It would be a useful feature to allow admins of a team to restrict access to a team or channel by the Keybase user's proven devices. A useful use case would be a private company chat where the data is only to be stored on company endpoints.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by tracing how team and channel access is authorized and how Keybase user's proven devices are represented, then determine the admin configuration flow and enforcement points. Done means admins can restrict access to approved devices and the restriction is consistently enforced.
