Slack Admin Certification Practice Test

Which role has the ability to demote Workspace admins in Slack?

1. Workspace Owner

2. Org Owner

3. Workspace Primary Owner

4. Workspace Admin

The correct answer is: Workspace Owner

The ability to demote Workspace admins in Slack is specifically held by the Workspace Owner. This role comes with full administrative rights over a workspace, including management of other admins and their permissions. The Workspace Owner can adjust admin roles, add or remove members from the workspace, and perform other critical management functions. While Org Owners and Workspace Primary Owners have significant permissions, the distinction lies in the specific level of control granted to Workspace Owners regarding admin roles. Org Owners manage multiple workspaces and have overarching control but do not directly manage the individual workspace roles. The Workspace Primary Owner, often seen as the main administrative figure, retains ultimate authority in certain administrative actions but typically cannot demote other admins. Workspace Admins, on the other hand, have limited administrative capabilities and cannot alter the roles of others. Therefore, their ability to manage workspace roles does not extend to demoting Workspace admins. Understanding this distinction is vital for effectively managing permissions and responsibilities within your Slack workspace.
