Abstract: Management of hosted channel membership of a communication platform is described. A request can be received from a first client of a first user, associated with a first organization, of the group-based communication platform, wherein the request is to associate a second user, associated with a second organization, with a communication channel of the first organization. An invitation to join the communication channel can be sent to a second client of the second user. In response to receiving an indication of an acceptance of the invitation, the second user can be associated with the communication channel. A request can be received from the second client to associate other user(s) associated with the second organization with the communication channel and the other user(s) can be associated with the communication channel based at least in part on permission(s) associated with the communication channel.

Abstract: Generating a shared workspace communication is described. A communication platform can receive, from a first account of a first workspace associated with a first organization, a request to create a shared workspace between the first organization and a second organization associated with a second workspace, wherein the first workspace comprises a first set of functions and the second workspace comprises a second set of functions. Based on the request, the communication platform can generate the shared workspace which may be accessible to one or more first users associated with the first workspace and one or more second users associated with the second workspace. The communication platform can assign a set of permissions to interact with the shared workspace to the one or more first users and the one or more second users to interact with the shared workspace. In some examples, the communication platform may generate a channel in the shared workspace.

Abstract: Generating shared workspaces for enabling communications between users of different organizations and facilitating discovery of users associated with different organizations is described. A first user can generate a shared workspace and associate one or more other organizations therewith. The first user can designate first criteria associated with joining the shared workspace. The communication platform can receive a request from a second user to join the shared workspace. Based on a determination that the second user satisfies the first criteria, the communication platform can enable the second user access to the shared workspace. In some examples, an administrator associated with an organization of the second user can establish second criteria for users of the organization to join the shared workspace. In such examples, the communication platform can enable the second user access to the shared workspace based on a determination that the second user also satisfies the second criteria.

Abstract: Method, apparatus and computer program product for multi-modal user authorization are described herein. For example, the apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory including program code. The at least one non-transitory memory and the program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, receive a request to enable a first client device associated with a first user profile to access a group-based communication system; determine a first access privilege status for the first user profile; in response to determining that the first access privilege status is a general access privilege status, transmit, to the first client device, first user interface data associated with a general access user interface; and in response to determining that the first access privilege status is a limited access privilege status, transmit, to the first client device, second user interface data associated with a limited access user interface.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to group-based data storage systems configured for maintaining data exchanged between client devices within channel-specific shards each corresponding with one or more group-identifiers to provide group-based access to those channel-specific shards and for applying group-specific policies for data stored within those channel-specific shards. Membership of particular users within particular groups and within particular channels may be monitored such that access to particular channel shards may be controlled based on group-memberships of the users, and access to data stored within particular channel shards may be controlled based on channel-memberships of the users.

Abstract: Techniques are described for expediting communications between a first person of an organization associated with a communication platform and a second person not associated with the organization. The first person requests for the communication platform to generate an invitation to communicate with the second person. The first person provides the invitation to the second person directly or via the communication platform. Responsive to receiving an indication that the second person accepts the invitation, the communication platform identifies whether the second person is associated with the communication platform. If the second user is associated with the communication platform, the communication platform modifies an existing user interface associated therewith to enable communications between the first person and the second person. If the second person is not associated with the communication platform, the communication platform generates a limited functionality user interface to enable the communications between the first person and the second person.
