Set up a Slack Enterprise Grid connector

ConductorOne provides identity governance and just-in-time provisioning for Slack Enterprise Grid. Integrate your Slack Enterprise Grid instance with ConductorOne to run user access reviews (UARs) and enable just-in-time access requests.

Yes, there are TWO kinds of Slack integration! The instructions below integrate a Slack Enterprise Grid account with ConductorOne so that you can review access data and grant user access to Slack. (We also have an integration for Slack Pro and Business+ accounts.)

If you want to install the ConductorOne Slack app, so that you and your colleagues can request access and get notifications about new ConductorOne tasks in your Slack workspace, go to the Settings page in ConductorOne and click Notifications.

Availability

General availability. The Slack Enterprise Grid connector is available to all ConductorOne users.

Capabilities

  • Sync user identities from Slack Enterprise Grid to ConductorOne

  • Resources supported:

    • Workspaces
    • User groups
    • Workspace roles
    • Enterprise roles

Add a new Slack Enterprise Grid connector

This task requires either the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne.

  1. In ConductorOne, open Admin and click Connectors > Add connector.

  2. Search for Slack Enterprise Grid and click Add.

  3. Choose whether to add the new Slack Enterprise Grid connector as a data source to an existing application (and select the app of your choice) or to create a new application.

    Do you SSO into Slack Enterprise Grid using your identity provider (IdP)? If so, make sure to add the connector to the Slack Enterprise Grid app that was created automatically when you integrated your IdP with ConductorOne, rather than creating a new app.

  1. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

    A Slack Enterprise Grid connector owner must have the following permissions:

    • Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
    • Org owner role in Slack Enterprise Grid
  1. Click Create and add details.

Next steps

  • If you are the connector owner, proceed to Configure your Slack Enterprise Grid connector for instructions on integrating Slack Enterprise Grid with ConductorOne.

  • If someone else is the connector owner, ConductorOne will notify them by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

Configure your Slack Enterprise Grid connector

A user with the Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne and the Org owner role in Slack Enterprise Grid must perform this task.

  4. Click Create App.

  5. Your new app opens. From the menu on the left, select OAuth & Permissions.

  6. Scroll down to the Scopes section of the page. In the Bot Token Scopes area, add the following OAuth Scopes:

    • channels:read
    • groups:read
    • team:read
    • usergroups:read
    • users.profile:read
    • users:read
    • users:read.email
  7. In the User Token Scopes area, add the following OAuth Scopes:

    • admin
    • admin.roles:read

  9. When prompted, allow your new app to access the Slack workspace.

Step 2: Install the ConductorOne app org-wide

You must now install the new app org-wide so that ConductorOne can sync data from all of your organization’s workspaces.

  2. In the Redirect URLs section of the page, add https://conductorone.com as a new redirect URL.

  3. Finally, select Basic Information in the sidebar and click Reinstall to Organization. Once installed, you’ll be able to see new org tokens.

  4. Carefully copy and save the token values. You’ll use them in Step 4.

Step 3: Add the ConductorOne app to all workspaces

  1. in the Integrations section of the admin dashboard, click Installed Apps.

  2. Locate the app you created. Click the icon and select Add to more workspaces.

  3. Check the box next to each workspaces you’d like to add the app to. To automatically add the app to new workspaces when they are created, check Default for future workspaces.

  4. Click Next.

  5. Check I’m ready to add this app.

  6. Click Add App.

Step 4: Add your Slack Enterprise Grid credentials to ConductorOne

  1. In ConductorOne, navigate to the Slack Enterprise Grid connector by either:

    • Clicking the Set up connector link in the email you received about configuring the connector.

    • Navigate to Admin > Connectors > Slack Enterprise Grid (if there is more than one Slack Enterprise Grid listed, click the one with your name listed as owner and the status Not connected).

  2. Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

  3. Paste the user token you generated in Step 2 into the User token field.

  4. Paste the bot token you generated in Step 2 into the Bot token field.

  5. Click Save.

  6. The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

That’s it! Your Slack Enterprise Grid connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.
