Automatically add new Office365 users to Slack

Question

Our Slack workspace is configured so that we can login using Azure SSO.

However, each time we create a new Office365 user we have to manually add it to the Slack applications in the Enterprise Applications section in the Azure Active Directory.

What should we do so that new Office365 users we create are automatically added to Slack without manual intervention?

Thanks for your help!

@Thibaut ,

You can check the tutorial https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/saas-apps/slack-provisioning-tutorial which will help you automatically provision and de-provision user accounts from Azure AD to Slack . The article has all the details . You require to be on the Slack Plus plan or above enabled , a user account in Azure AD with permission to configure provisioning (for example, Application Administrator, Cloud Application administrator, Application Owner, or Global Administrator) and Team admin level Slack account .

Every capability may not be supported however you should be able to automate the user creation for sure. The following is the capability supported.

• Create users in Slack
• Remove users in Slack when they do not require access anymore
• Keep user attributes synchronized between Azure AD and Slack
• Provision groups and group memberships in Slack
• Single sign-on to Slack (recommended)

Yes, this is what I followed when I originally configured SSO but new users have not been automatically added to Slack.

I followed everything again and the only setting I changed is User assignment required? from Yes to No

By doing that, it should automatically provision new Office365 users to Slack right. If I understand correctly, with Yes it means I would have to assign them manually, am I correct?
