Slack

The Corma integration for Slack connects directly to Slack to automate user provisioning, so on- and offboarding follow your HR and identity data for every employee in every team. Slack is a cloud-based messaging and collaboration platform for teams. It offers real-time messaging, file sharing and integrations with other tools and services. Slack organizes conversations into channels by topic, project or team, and supports private messages, searchable message history, and video and voice calls.

Why does Slack access need governance?

Slack channels, private messages and shared files carry a team's internal conversations. When accounts are created and removed by hand, access drifts: people stay in channels after a role change, and former employees can keep active accounts after they leave. Without a central view, IT cannot easily tell who has access to what, and access reviews become slow and incomplete.

How Corma automates Slack access control

• The right access on day one: Corma provisions Slack access from HR and identity data through automated provisioning, so each new employee gets the access their role requires.
• Automated offboarding: when an employee leaves, Corma de-provisions their Slack access, which prevents orphaned accounts and exposure of internal conversations.
• Access rights based on roles: Corma adjusts Slack access rights through role-based access control, so everyone has the appropriate access when they need it.
• Onboarding workflows: with the IT Workflow Builder, an onboarding workflow can create the Slack account, grant app access and notify the manager for each new hire, which takes repetitive onboarding tasks off IT's plate.
• One dashboard for access and licenses: Corma's unified dashboard shows who has access to Slack and which licenses are active, expiring or underused, so IT can spot unused or redundant licenses. Every access change is logged for GDPR, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits.
