Integrating Slack with Privilege Manager
The Privilege Manager Slack Approval Bot lets approvers allow or deny endpoint elevation requests directly from a Slack channel — no need to log into the Privilege Manager console.
When an endpoint user submits an elevation request, the bot picks it up and posts an approval card to a registered Slack channel. An approver clicks Approve or Deny on the card, and Privilege Manager applies the result immediately.
How It Works
-
A user on a managed endpoint requests an elevation (for example, running an application as administrator).
-
The bot polls Privilege Manager and picks up the pending request within 60 seconds.
-
The bot posts an approval card to the registered Slack channel showing the requester, computer, policy, application, and reason.
-
An approver clicks Approve or Deny directly in Slack.
-
Privilege Manager applies the result on the endpoint instantly.
