Requirements for Nightfall DLP for Slack Enterprise

A service account with appropriate Slack permissions is required.
For Slack Enterprise Grid plans, an Org Owner is required and must be a member of at least one of the workspaces. Org Primary Owner is not required.

The Channel Management permission for “People who can create Private channels” must be set to “Everyone, plus Multi-Channel Guests (default)”.
