Slack Admin Certification Practice Test

For accounts deactivated in Slack, what is a potential consequence?

1. All data is permanently lost

2. Members cannot reactivate their accounts

3. API integrations linked to the account are halted

4. New users cannot join the workspace

The correct answer is: API integrations linked to the account are halted

When an account is deactivated in Slack, one of the potential consequences is that the API integrations associated with that account are halted. This is significant because many organizations rely on various integrations to streamline their workflow and enhance functionality within Slack. When an account that has integrated applications is deactivated, those integrations cease to operate, potentially disrupting processes that depend on them. This outcome underscores the importance of managing user accounts and integrations carefully. If a key user with important integrations is deactivated, it can affect the entire workspace's productivity and access to automated services. The other options reflect situations that are not typical consequences of account deactivation; for instance, deactivated accounts do not lead to the permanent loss of all data, and members still have the option to reactivate their accounts, provided they have the necessary permissions. Additionally, the ability of new users to join the workspace is not impacted by the deactivation of other accounts.
