Add a Workspace Admin to My U-M Slack Workspace

Environment

U-M Slack

Issue

I am a Workspace Admin and would like to add additional Workspace Admins to my U-M Slack workspace.

Resolution

Note: The individual whom you would like to make a Workspace Admin must be eligible for U-M Slack and already a member of the workspace.

To add additional Workspace Admins:

  1. Ensure you have an admin role in the relevant workspace, or ask someone who has an admin role to follow these steps.
  2. Click University of Michigan at the top of the left channel sidebar.
  3. Hover over Tools & settings in the drop-down menu and select Manage members.
    • If you do not find the Manage members option, then you're not a Workspace Admin in any U-M Slack workspace.
  4. Select the relevant workspace from the drop-down and click Open. The "Manage members" page will open in a new browser window.
    • If you do not find the workspace you are looking for in the drop-down, then you're not a Workspace Admin in that workspace.
  5. Click the three-dots icon to the right of the member's name you’d like to make a Workspace Admin.
  6. Select Change account type.
  7. Select Workspace Admin and click Save.

The individual should now be a Workspace Admin.

Additional Information

Note that you cannot change the account type after making the individual a Workspace Admin. If you wish to remove a Workspace Admin, refer to Remove a Workspace Admin From My U-M Slack Workspace.
