Patent number: 11973761Abstract: Methods, media, and systems for a changing a private channel in a channel-based communication system from an “invited-members” mode to a “whitelisted groups” mode. When in a whitelisted-groups mode, the channel administrator can whitelist one or more groups for channel membership. The whitelisted groups may be external groups managed by an identity provider. Based on the whitelisted groups, users cannot be added to the private channel without being a member of one of the whitelisted groups. Users are also automatically removed from the channel if they are no longer in one of the whitelisted groups for any reason.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Timmons, Carmen Raffa, Jonathan Byman, Ayushi Samaddar, Aish Raj Dahal, Colin Gibbs, Robin McConnell Balaga

Publication number: 20230403630Abstract: A computer-readable media, system, and method for providing role-based access management to channels within a group-based communication system. Role-based access management allows for a plurality of roles to be established and for users to be associated with these roles. Roles may be associated with sets of permissions allowing users assigned to the respective role to perform various actions within the group-based communication system. The group-based communication system may include preset, system roles with predetermined permissions and custom, user-defined roles may be created by administrators within the group-based communication system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: Carmen Raffa, Aish Raj Dahal, Jose Medina, Robin McConnell Balaga, Jennifer Enrique

Publication number: 20230328486Abstract: Centralized channel management of a set group-based communication system is described. A channel management interface, of the group-based communication system, can be presented via a client of a user associated with a first organization, wherein the channel management interface includes communication channels associated with the first organization, wherein at least a first communication channel is associated with the first organization and a second organization, and wherein at least a second communication channel is associated with the first organization and a third organization. A request can be received via the channel management interface to initiate a channel management action associated with at least one of the first communication channel or the second communication channel and in response to receiving the request to initiate the channel management action, data associated with at least one of the first communication channel or the second communication channel can be updated.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Colin Gibbs, Carmen Raffa, Matthew Kump, Aish Raj DAHAL, Jessica Rae Petersen, Ayushi Samaddar, Robin McConnell Balaga, Jessica Victoria Miller
