Slack: Find/Contact the Admins of a Workspace

Environment

U-M Slack

Issue

How do I find who the admins are of a U-M Slack workspace? How do I contact them?

Resolution

To find the admins of a workspace:

1. Click the 3 vertical dots (More menu) from the far left sidebar panel in Slack.
2. Select People.
3. Click Filters.
4. Use the Workspaces filter to select the workspace you're checking admins for.
5. Scroll down and use the Account types filter to select Admins.
6. Click Search.

You should now have a list of all the Workspace Admins in the workspace you chose.

You can also find a list of admins using the @admins user group, which every U-M Slack workspace has. From the same People page:

1. Select User groups in the sidebar.
2. Click the Workspaces drop-down and select the relevant workspace.
3. Find the @admins user group and click on it to view a list of that workspace's admins.

(Refer to the Slack Help Center to learn more about the behaviors and uses of user groups and mentions in Slack.)

Based on these two methods, you can choose to contact the Workspace Admins by either direct messaging one of them from the People list or mentioning the @admins user group in a channel that belongs to the relevant workspace. (Refer to Mentioning Slack User Groups in a Workspace for additional information on contacting @admins via Slack.)
