Explainer

Single sign-on (SSO) lets people sign in to Slack through your company's identity provider (IdP) instead of a Slack email address and password. When you turn on SAML SSO, you also decide who must use it. Where you make that choice, and who is allowed to make it, depends on the Slack plan.
Core information
  • Slack has two authentication options: authenticate with Slack (email and password) or authenticate with SSO. On the Pro and Business+ plans, users sign in with email and password by default. On Enterprise Grid, users authenticate via SSO by default.
More details and nuances
  • Workspace Owners and Org Owners can always bypass SSO and sign in with an email address and password. Requiring SSO for everyone never locks owners out, and they can still get into Slack if the IdP has problems.
