Slack Admin Certification Practice Test

At which levels can a data retention policy be configured in Slack?

1. Org Level, User Level, System Level

2. Org Level, Workspace Level, Conversation Level

3. Project Level, Team Level, Workspace Level

4. Org Level, Channel Level, File Level

The correct answer is: Org Level, Workspace Level, Conversation Level

The correct response identifies the levels at which a data retention policy can be configured within Slack, which are the organization level, workspace level, and conversation level. At the organization level, administrators can set overarching policies that apply to all the workspaces within that organization. This ensures that the company's data retention strategies align with regulatory requirements and internal governance. The workspace level allows for more granular control, enabling the admin to define different policies for distinct workspaces under the same organization. This is particularly useful for organizations with varied needs across departments or projects. The conversation level refers to specific channels and direct messages, where policies can be tailored based on the nature of the conversations, allowing for flexibility depending on the content and context of interactions among users. Other options contain levels that either do not exist in Slack’s data retention architecture or incorrectly categorize retention settings, which do not align with Slack’s actual capabilities in managing data retention.
