Question 1
Choose 1
You are the sole developer on a Slack application and you are ready to distribute the app on the App
Directory. You invite a few of your coworkers to be App Collaborators through the Collaborators page in the
App Dashboard.
What can App Collaborators do when added as a Collaborator through the App Dashboard?
Correct answer:
D. Add new collaborators, manage and remove other collaborators, and delete the app
Explanation
App Collaborators are team members you add through the Collaborators page in the App Dashboard to help manage an app. They have broad administrative abilities but with one important restriction: they cannot delete the app, and they cannot remove the original app owner. Their permissions include:
- Add new collaborators – They can invite additional team members to collaborate on the app.
- Manage and remove other collaborators – They can change collaborator roles and remove other collaborators (except the app owner).
- Set themselves as the app owner – A collaborator can take over ownership of the app.
What they cannot do is delete the app — that action is reserved for the app owner (or requires ownership). This is the key distinction that separates the correct answer from the distractor that includes "delete the app."
✅ C. Add new collaborators, manage and remove other collaborators, and set themselves as the app owner –
This correctly lists the collaborator capabilities while excluding the reserved "delete the app" action.
❌ Why Other Options Are Incorrect
A. Manage and remove other collaborators, set themselves as the app owner, and delete the app – Incorrect because collaborators cannot delete the app, and it omits the ability to add new collaborators.
B. Add new collaborators, set themselves as the app owner, and delete the app – Incorrect because it includes "delete the app" (reserved for the owner) and omits the ability to manage/remove other collaborators.
D. Add new collaborators, manage and remove other collaborators, and delete the app – Incorrect because it includes "delete the app" and omits the ability to set themselves as the app owner.
