Salesforce Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Slack

Guess I'm using the wrong words. To the left of my user name, next to the minimize/maximize buttons, I can switch (in my mind)... something. I guess tenant is the word, but in my mind that is the team.

I see now that what I've always thought of as "channels" is called Teams, no idea how I've overlooked that for over two years but there you go.

My point is in Discord I can be on a dozen different servers with different administrators and seamlessly go between them. Not so in Teams. I'm stuck to one tenant (team) at a time. Which sucks if you need to switch between them.

I see, I am not sure how common that is. Most places you only need 1 Tenant unless your are contracting with Multiple companies but even then you would be set up as a Guest on their tenant not have your own independent user name for each tenant you need access to.

You are correct that Teams today does not support Multi-Tenancy but that is really not an issue for 99.5% of organizations who would only ever have 1 tenant anyway

Teams is structure as

Tenant -> Teams -> Channels

Yeah I guess it's a bit different since we're so heavy into complex integrations with our customers.

Anyway, up until this became an issue, Teams has worked quite well. It does what we need when we need it, so can't complain really.
