Connect identity provider groups to your Enterprise Grid org
Slack allows you to sync groups from your identity provider (IdP) to workspaces within your organisation – making it easier to manage Slack at scale. If your IdP does not support syncing groups, you can use our SCIM API to do it manually.
What to expect
- Org owners/admins can automatically add or remove members from workspaces using IdP groups.
- Members can’t deactivate their accounts when workspace membership is required.
- Any changes to your IdP group(s) can only be made through your IdP.
Connect an IdP group
- From your desktop, click your workspace name in the top left.
- Select Administration from the menu, then Organisation settings.
- Click Workspaces, then search for the workspace you want to connect an IdP group to.
- Click on the workspace name.
- Click IdP groups, then click Connect IdP groups.
- Search for groups, then click Connect to workspace. You can select multiple groups to add at once or connect each group individually.
- Click Make membership required to automatically add or remove members to the workspace as they are added or removed from your IdP group.
- Finally, click Connect to workspace.
Bear in mind: Connecting an IdP group will not impact members who are already part of the workspace.
Tip: You can make a workspace required at any time by clicking the three dots icon to the right of a group, then selecting Make membership required.
Disconnect an IdP group
- From your desktop, click your workspace name in the top left.
- Select Administration from the menu, then Organisation settings.
- Click Workspaces, then search for the workspace you want to edit.
- Click on the workspace name.
- Click IdP groups, then hover over the IdP group you want to disconnect.
- Click the cog icon on the right, then select Disconnect from workspace.
Warning! Disconnecting an IdP group from a workspace will automatically remove all members in that group from that workspace.
