Manage access to Slackbot for your workspace or Enterprise organization

Owners and admins can manage access to Slackbot for their Slack workspace or Enterprise organization.

What to expect

• Business+ and Enterprise Select plans
  Slackbot will start rolling out on January 13, 2026. Once it’s available in your workspace, you can manage access. 
• Enterprise Grid and Enterprise+ plans
  You can manage access to Slackbot until February 9, 2026 to determine who can use the feature once it rolls out. Starting February 10, Slackbot will be turned on for all members if you don’t adjust permissions beforehand. To start using Slackbot right away, follow the steps below. 

Note: The new version of Slackbot is rolling out gradually, and Org Owners and Org Admins on Enterprise Grid and Enterprise+ plans can manage access before it’s released.
