You are a Slack consultant working with an Enterprise Grid plan client. The client is new to using Slack and
is seeking your expertise to understand the available roles and permissions in Slack.
Which Enterprise Grid role would give your client the maximum flexibility to control non-admin member
permissions?
Correct answer:
C. Roles Admin
Explanation:
In Slack Enterprise Grid, the Roles Admin is the role that provides the maximum flexibility to control non-admin member permissions. This role is specifically designed to manage custom roles and their associated permissions, allowing the organization to fine-tune what non-admin users can and cannot do across the Grid.
Roles Admin capabilities – The Roles Admin can create, modify, and delete custom roles and assign granular permissions to those roles. This includes defining which actions non-admin members can perform (e.g., creating channels, inviting guests, using apps, managing workflows). This provides the highest level of control over member permissions.
Flexibility – Unlike other admin roles that have fixed permissions, the Roles Admin can tailor permissions to specific business needs—for example, allowing certain departments to create private channels while restricting others. This flexibility is unmatched by other roles.
Non-admin permission control – The Roles Admin's primary focus is on permission management for members who are not Org Admins or Workspace Admins. This makes it the most powerful role for customizing member experiences.
Why other options are incorrect:
A. Compliance Admin
– The Compliance Admin focuses on security and compliance controls, such as DLP (Data Loss Prevention), eDiscovery, and retention policies. This role does not control non-admin member permissions; it governs data compliance settings.
B. Users Admin
– The Users Admin manages user lifecycle tasks such as provisioning, deprovisioning, and managing user profiles and groups. While this role handles user accounts, it does not control granular member permissions. That is the domain of the Roles Admin.
