FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I approve access requests directly from Slack?

Yes. TigerAccess sends interactive Slack messages with "Approve" and "Deny" buttons. Clicking these buttons immediately processes the request without needing to switch to the web dashboard. All approvals are logged with the Slack user identity for audit compliance.

What types of notifications can be sent to Slack?

TigerAccess can send access request notifications, session start/end alerts, security policy violations, audit events, login anomalies, certificate expirations, and custom alerts based on your configured rules. Each notification type can be routed to different channels with customizable severity thresholds.

Does the Slack integration work with Enterprise Grid?

Yes. TigerAccess fully supports Slack Enterprise Grid with org-wide app installation, cross-workspace notifications, and support for shared channels. You can configure notifications to be sent to channels across multiple workspaces in your Grid organization.

Can users request access via Slack bot commands?

Yes. The TigerAccess Slack bot supports slash commands like "/tigeraccess request ssh prod-server" to request access directly from Slack. Users receive instant feedback on request status and can view their active sessions with "/tigeraccess sessions". All bot commands respect the same RBAC policies as the web UI and CLI.

How are sensitive details handled in Slack notifications?

TigerAccess follows security best practices for Slack notifications. Sensitive information like credentials, session recordings, or detailed audit logs are never included in messages. Instead, notifications contain summary information with secure links to the TigerAccess dashboard where users can view full details after authentication. You can also configure notification redaction policies for compliance requirements.
