Next conceptEnterprise Grid versus a single-workspace plan

Explainer

SAML single sign-on (SSO) lets people sign in to Slack through a trusted identity provider (IdP) instead of a Slack-stored email and password. SCIM provisioning lets that IdP create, update, and deactivate Slack accounts for you. Every Slack plan can use both features, but Free and Pro need a connected Salesforce org, and the plan decides where you configure them and how much they can do.
Core information
  • Slack has two sign-in options: authenticate with Slack (email and password) or authenticate with SSO. Pro and Business+ use email and password by default, and many Workspace Owners on those plans add SSO for an extra layer of security. Enterprise Grid orgs authenticate users with SSO by default.
More details and nuances
  • The Salesforce org condition is an easy trap. SSO and SCIM are available on Free and Pro, but only for customers who have connected a Salesforce org to Slack. Business+ has no such requirement.
