Okta + Slack
Secure, seamless access that keeps Slack teams connected and productive
Overview
In today’s fast-moving, digital workplace, seamless communication and secure access are essential for productivity. Slack connects teams with real-time collaboration, while Okta ensures that only the right people have the right access—wherever they work. Through Secure Identity Integrations (SII), Slack and Okta eliminate friction with effortless authentication, automated user management, and best-in-class security, empowering organizations to collaborate confidently without compromising control. As hybrid work expands and security threats rise, this partnership enables businesses to move faster, stay secure, and keep their teams focused on what matters most.
The Solution
Advanced Identity Security & Automation for Slack
Efficient collaboration demands strong security and automation. With SII, Slack and Okta provide powerful capabilities that simplify access, streamline user management, and protect sensitive conversations – keeping teams productive and secure.
- Single Sign-On: Provide quick, secure access to Slack with one-click authentication, reducing password fatigue and cutting IT support tickets.
- Lifecycle Management: Automate user provisioning, profile updates, and deprovisioning to ensure the right people have the right access from day one – and lose it when they leave.
- Entitlements Management: Push Okta groups to Slack to automatically assign users to the right channels and workspaces, ensuring secure, role-based collaboration.
- Workflows: Automate identity-driven processes–like onboarding, approvals, and security responses – using a no-code platform that keeps teams efficient and IT in control.
- Universal Logout: Instantly revoke Slack access across all devices when a user is compromised, enforcing real-time security at scale.
