- Owners of organizations
- This feature is accessible with the Enterprise Grid membership.
The owners of organizations that subscribe to the Enterprise Grid service can mandate that their users utilize a minimum version of the Slack app for either iOS or Android. This ensures that members have access to the most recent security features and updates. If members fail to update their application, they will be prompted to do so and will be signed out of all workspaces within your Enterprise Grid organization.
What to expect Slack minimum app version:
- Additionally, when you enable a minimum app version, you have the option of selecting whether you want the feature to take effect immediately or after a grace period of seventy-two hours.
- In the event that you configure the feature to take effect immediately, individuals who are utilizing an older version of the application will be prevented from accessing Slack and will be prompted to update the application.
- If you choose to implement a grace period, members who are still utilizing an older version of the application will be prompted to update it within a period of seventy-two hours. In the event that members do not update their Slack app before the grace period expires, they will be removed from the platform and asked to update the app before they are able to re-enter the platform.
