Roles and permissions on an organization

On Slack Enterprise Grid, all members have a role at the organization level.

At the workspace level, you can refine a member’s role even further to make sure everyone has the appropriate level of permission and access to data on the organization.

Roles overview

• Organization level
  Org Owner, Org Admin, Member, Multi-Channel Guest, and Single-Channel Guest
• Workspace level
  Members of an organization can be promoted to individual Workspace Owners and Workspace Admins 
  
  

Tip: Connect IDP groups to individual workspaces to make managing your organization’s membership a breeze. 🌴

Note: For more on roles and permissions at the workspace-level, visit Roles and permissions in Slack on the Help Center.
