Manage roles and permissions in Slack

👋 Welcome. We're excited to help you earn your badge.

Roles determine what people can see and do in Slack. In Slack, every person has a role, each with its own level of permissions and access. There are administrative roles that are designed for people responsible for managing accounts and settings, and non-administrative roles that let people work in Slack and access key features. 

Instead of just admins and full members, Slack offers a roles and permissions framework that gives organizations the flexibility in how permissions are delegated across their Slack instance with more granular roles. This badge will help Slack Admins be familiar with all the different roles and permissions available by plan and provide tips and best practices for managing them in their organization.

After this course, you'll be able to:

1. Be familiar with roles and permissions available in Slack.
2. Apply best practices when assigning roles and permissions across a single-workspace plan (Free, Pro, and Business+).
3. Apply best practices when assigning roles and permissions across a multi-workspace Org (Enterprise Grid).

✅ Note: This badge aims to help admins become experts on roles and permissions in Slack, and equip them with knowledge and skills that will carry across their careers and as their organizations grow. Therefore, this badge requires learners to pass a quiz around managing roles applicable to all Slack plan types—Free, Pro, Business+ and Enterprise Grid.

To best prepare yourself for this badge, we recommend that you set aside about 1 hour to complete the course and 10-question quiz.
