# Slack

Slack is a communicating platform used in organizations. The communications are organized into channels that are easy to create, join and search.

* A sample is given below for reference:

* In the example above,&#x20;
  * if **Team 1**, **Team 2**, and **Team 3** are selected, only applications associated with these teams can access the integration. Any applications belonging to other teams, such as **Team 4**, will not have access to this account.
  * Even if the user who created this account is also an admin for **Team 4**, the integration account remains restricted and is not available for **Team 4**.&#x20;
  * Access to the account is strictly limited to the specified **Teams** and **Environments** selected during account creation.
* **For Organization Admins:**
  * When an **Organization Admin** creates an account without selecting specific **Teams** and **Environments**, the account will be universally applicable, granting access to **all teams** and **all environments** by default.
* **For Team Admins with Multiple Teams:**<br>
  * If a **Team Admin** who manages multiple teams creates an account without specifying particular **Teams** and **Environments**, the account will only be accessible to the teams for which the logged-in user holds admin privileges.

3. Click **Save**. The tool is connected.&#x20;
4. You can edit the entered values by clicking the **Edit** option in the **Actions** column.&#x20;
