Guides for admins​

Manage app approvals​

Build an app that can handle approvals and restrictions for admins across an entire Slack org. Read our guide to app approval APIs.

Manage channels​

Handle the intricacies of creating public and private channels, setting preferences, and connecting new workspaces—all with a single app. Use the APIs for channel management.

Manage invite requests​

Let users invite friends to unexplored workspaces, while maintaining admin approval over those invites. Explore the invite request management APIs.

Manage users​

An app can create a workspace and control addition and removal of that workspace's users. Apps can even mark a user as an admin or owner. Read our guide to the APIs for managing users in a workspace.

Other things you can do to manage users include:

  • Using allowlists: You can add, remove, and list membership allowlists for private channels.
  • Reset sessions rapidly: When you suspect a device—mobile, web, or both—has been swiped, take immediate action.
  • Define default channels for IDP groups: An IDP group represents a group of users synced from your identity provider (IDP). You can add, remove, and list default channels for an IDP group.
