New to Okta and new to Slack integrations as well, but I had/have a similar question. Recently began managing a system with 21 similar errors to the original posting. Are the 'usernames' unique to the enterprise instance, or slack itself? Meaning, can I have a 'john.doe' for XYZ Company and a 'john.doe' for ACME Company? Best-of-breed specialized platforms from Okta, Box, Slack, and Zoom help IT and business leadership support their workforces and increase efficiency, while maintaining control and security. Improve employee satisfaction and retention by providing employees with the tools they want to use.
