Scope
This document explains how to set up the Policy Scope for Slack Pro and Slack Business+ editions. If you are using a Slack Enterprise edition, you must refer to this document.
The Scope stage allows you to select Slack Channels and Connections which must be scanned by the policy.
To configure Policy Scope:
Select one of the following options under the Select Channels section. The scope of this policy is limited to only those channels and connections which you select in this section.
Channels: Select the Select All check box to scan the data in all your Slack channels. Select the Public Channels check box to scan data only in your Public Slack Channels. Select the Private Channels check box to scan data only in your private Slack channels.
Connections: Select the Select All check box to scan the data in all your Slack connections. Select the Public Connect Channels check box to scan data only in your Public connect Slack Channels. Select the Private Connect Channels check box to scan data only in your private connect Slack channels.
You must add the Nightfall Pro Slack application to all the channels that you wish to scan with Nightfall.
The Exclusion section allows you to exclude users and applications from being scanned by Nightfall.
(Optional) Select the name of the users to be excluded, from the Exclude Users drop-down menu.
(Optional) Select the name of the applications to be excluded, from the Exclude Apps drop-down menu.
Click Next.
Important
If you are using a Slack Enterprise plan, you can also select direct messages in the Scope section. This feature is not present for Slack Pro and Slack Business+ plans.
Example Scenario
Consider that you wish to scan all the Public and Private Slack channels. However, you wish to exclude messages from the Slackbot user (since it's a bot) and the Nightfall Pro app. You can accomplish this task as shown in the following image.
