Using the Slack Connector in Qlik Application Automation you may see the following message when trying to connect using a Slack guest account:
You are not authorized message using Slack guest account in Qlik Application Automation
Cause:
Slack guest accounts are not permitted to use or install apps, as outlined on Permissions by role in Slack | Slack.
Resolution:
The user needs Full Member role on the Slack Workspace they're trying to connect to.
You can check if you're a guest by going into the Slack Workspace required and:
- Clicking on your Avatar image on the upper right corner
- View Profile.
- If you're a guest, you'll see this under your profile image:
Additionally, the user may sometimes see this message even when having a Full Member role on the workspace:
This means that the Owner/Admin of that Slack workspace disabled the option to let Members install apps on it. They should then submit a request that will be sent to the workspace Admin.
