Browse people and user groups in Slack

In Slack, you can find people that you work with in the directory. Search for anyone to view their profile and find information, like their job title, local time zone and more.

What to expect

• You can filter results by account type, like guest or deactivated account, to find who you're looking for more quickly.
• If you use Slack Connect to work with people outside your company, you can view people that you work with from other organisations.
• On paid subscriptions, you can also browse user groups in your workspace.
