Set organisation policies for apps on Enterprise Grid
Set organisation policies for apps on Enterprise Grid
By default, members of an Enterprise Grid organisation can install any app to workspaces that they belong to. Org owners can set organisation policies for all workspaces in their org to manage app installation and use.
What to expect
Setting an app management policy turns on app approval for every workspace in an org. When app approval is enabled, members can only use apps that have been approved for their workspaces.
Org owners can approve or restrict apps for their entire org, but workspace owners and app managers will be responsible for reviewing app requests for workspaces that they manage.
Org owners can also set org policies to limit members to installing apps from the Slack Marketplace and determine whether multi-channel guests can use shortcuts.
Set an app management policy for your org
Follow the steps below to turn on app approval for all workspaces in your org:
From your desktop, click your organisation name in the sidebar.
Hover over Tools & settings, then click Organisation settings.
From the left sidebar, click onSettings, then select Organisation policies.
Click the Apps tab at the top of the page.
Next to App management, click Add policy.
Tick the box next to Require app approval.
Select Save policy. Then, click Create policy.
Note: If you don’t set an app management policy for your org, workspace owners can still choose to enable app approval for workspaces that they manage.
From your desktop, click your organisation name in the sidebar.
Hover over Tools & settings, then click Organisation settings.
From the left sidebar, click onSettings, then select Organisation policies.
