21. You are on the cybersecurity team for a large multinational corporation
using Slack’s Enterprise Grid plan. The Chief Technology Officer at your
organization has asked you to evaluate an Enterprise Mobility Management
(EMM) solution for Slack and report back with your findings.
Admins can use AppConfig to prevent members from copying data from
managed workspaces.
If EMM is required, members won’t be able to access their workspaces from

duration, blocking jailbroken devices, and EMM verification for guests

comes from outside the Slack App Directory.

31. Which of the following is NOT a core consideration for Enterprise Grid
design?
Cultural dynamics
Org Owners and Admins can move channels to any workspace, but they must
also have an admin role on the channel's original workspace.
Workspace Owners and Admins can move channels, but they must have
admin roles on both the channel's original and destination workspace.
Since private channels cannot be moved, Workspace Owners must create entirely
new private channels in the destination workspace.
Since private channels can be moved, Workspace Owners can search and find
them even if they are not a member. However, they won’t be able to see the
content of the private channel or any of the people in it.
All multi-workspace channels that were shared across the two origin
workspaces must be configured to also include the new destination
workspace.
33. You are an Org Admin at your company. The Slack core team at your
company conducted an Enterprise Grid design session and decided to
consolidate five existing workspaces into a single workspace so that
employees can better work together.
What must happen first before moving channels from the five existing
workspaces into the destination workspace?
Add guest accounts to the destination workspace
(organization who sent the invite) will be able to continue using the
channel without the connection to the other workspace. TRUE
. TRUE OR FALSE: When a member of your workspace wishes to create a
Slack Connect channel with another organization, they should DM you
with the invitation link so you can authorize it. FALSE
. TRUE OR FALSE: Workspace Owners and Admins can rename any public
and private channel without additional user action. TRUE
. TRUE OR FALSE: An important part of designing a channel naming
convention is using prefixes to designate departments (i.e. #eng or #hr),
office locations (i.e. #ny) or groups, and suffixes for topics or purposes
(i.e. #acct or #help). TRUE
Which of the following sets of channels provides the most clear and
consistent channel-naming convention?
Which of the following will help make it easier for members to find and join
channels?
Rename every channel that does not have a business related title.
Move all channels from any existing workspaces into Enterprise Grid
. You are an Org Admin for a university. A group of professors from two
department-specific workspaces (Engineering and Foreign Policies) have
requested an org-wide channel to collaborate on a top-secret
government research project for two months. The project is relatively
simple in scope, but the team would need to interact in the channel
frequently.
Since the professors are from two department-specific workspaces, create an org-
wide channel and invite the professors.
Create a shared channel with the external government agency and add the
professors to that channel as members.
Create a new invite-only workspace and let the teams create the channels they
need.
. You are a recruiter who organizes interviews for many candidates. Each
candidate typically has five interviews with individuals on the hiring team.
Invite the interviewers to a public channel, let them share it with others who will
need to join, and archive it when the interview is complete.
Invite the interviewers to a private channel for the candidate, then archive it
when the interview is complete.
Use a private channel, in which all interviewers are members, for all interviews
going forward.
A system that uses trusted third parties to securely authenticate users with
multiple applications/websites by logging in only once.
A system entity that creates, maintains, and manages identity information for
principals while providing authentication services to relying applications within a

with a member who has been deactivated. TRUE

.
company. Your company has a sizable team of engineers who have deep
expertise in APIs and collaborate in a workspace on the Business+ plan.
Due to legal requirements, access to any tools and data must cease
immediately. This includes their current Slack workspace.
Knowing that your engineers used to sign into Slack via GSuite OAuth, what’s
the most efficient way to revoke access for the entire team?
Terminate the employees sessions on GSuite and this way, terminate their Slack
sessions.
As a GSuite admin, deactivate the users’ accounts in the GSuite console, which
will deactivate their Slack accounts.
Given the team’s expertise in using APIs, use the SCIM API available on the
Plus plan to deactivate all necessary users programmatically.

Business+ plan. Your information security team wants to make sure
members will be automatically deactivated when they leave the company.

63. When you develop your integrations, bots and tools for your own
workspace or org, these are:
Custom Apps
reactions:read
Add emoji reactions in channels and conversations that the app has been added
to.

has been added to.

workflows created by members of their workspaces. TRUE
All employees are using Slack heavily to stay engaged. The HR team would
like you, the head of Software Systems and Avionics, to build a custom app
for this project.
How should you fulfill this requirement in the quickest possible way?
Use Workflow Builder to create an app that is triggered by a webhook. This way,
you can have a scheduled process and a cron job to request feedback from users.
Use Workflow Builder to create a scheduled workflow for the #general channel.
Set it to weekly and at a convenient time. Send a message with the workflow
reminding everyone to direct message their HR contact with some feedback.
Use Slackbot to set weekly reminders for all members in the #general channel to
use the associated Workflow to report on their wellbeing. Download the CSV
responses once a week.
Employees should start a DM with Slackbot and trigger a command to start the
workflow that would allow them to add information about a potential candidate to
its library. Recruiters can then DM Slackbot and ask if there have been any new
referrals.
Create a public channel for employee referrals and anyone who has a potential
candidate can post a message.
Have users direct message the recruiters and upload the candidate’s resumé to a
file sharing app available on the Slack App Directory.
Create a workflow using Workflow Builder with the necessary fields and then
have it post the data to a private channel for recruiters.
