Why is there a banner recommending I update the permission scopes for my Slack app?

When you're editing a Slack app, you may see a banner recommending you to update the permission scopes for your app. If you see this banner, then it means that you're using the classic version of the app, which uses a coarser permission scope.

The latest version uses fine-grained permission scopes, and you can request only the specific scopes required by your app. If you prefer to continue using the coarser scope, you don't have to do anything. But if you prefer to use the fine-grained permission scopes, then here's what you must do:

  1. On the Slack website, navigate to the page where you manage your applications.

    Note: You must be an administrator of your Slack application.
  2. You should see a banner indicating that you can start using a finer-grained scope.

  3. Click the link in the banner and follow the steps to upgrade your Slack app.

  4. In your Fusion application, navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area.

  5. Open the Tasks panel tab.

  6. Click Search from the list of displayed tasks.

  7. Search for and select the Manage Communication Channels task.

  8. Reauthorize your Slack channel.

After the channel is authorized, the integration starts using the finer scope.
